Tyler, I am confused by your post. 256 is A LOT less than 50k. A LOT, A LOT less. 20x less. 10K is a lot less than 50k, so if anything, Open-Stack Cloud's 256 installs is being exaggerated. It is being graded on an easier scale than Structs, which is also being graded on an easier scale than Mailer, which has over 100k installs and is graded on a 200k scale.
To someone wondering if a plugin is worth installing, moving from 20 installs to 40 installs is 2x, but mostly meaningless. Moving from 1 install to 10 is totally meaningless despite being 10x. Whereas, moving from 75k to 125k over the same time would be a big deal. Using your own examples, the Structs jump really is remarkable. The Open-stack jump, isn't particularly, unless you are that plugin's developer. For the recently installed.... As Daniel described, the point of the recently installed is to give newer plugins a way to shine. If a plugin has been around for a long time, it has had more time to accumulate installations. This levels that playing field, tried-and-true vs. new-and-exciting.
