 If you look at the Plugins / Add New / Popular tab with 4.1, you should
 see a different set of results than before.

 I've committed a change to the API side that replaces the old results with
 a new, tailored list of plugins that takes into account the plugins you
 already have installed. The results are based on data about plugins that
 are commonly used together. It's similar to an online store's "people who
 bought this also bought.." feature.

 Unlike the old list, the new results should exclude plugins you already
 have installed.

 Testing is needed to look for problems in edge cases.

 The new results are shown on the Popular tab now, but that doesn't have to
 be its final home. Potentially this could replace the Featured tab, or
 become a new tab by itself.

 Right now, no patch is needed to see the new results. If it's to move to a
 new tab, then a core patch will be required.
