This doesn't quite make sense to me. The home page already lists 'Recently
Updated' and also 'Most Installed' as a separate column, so I'm confused as to
why the math would include things from there.
Asked differently, what is the goal of presenting these different blocks of
plugin lists below the search field? There are three lists of plugins, and one
list of categories. The latter doesn't feel like it belongs, but it's unclear
what the design motivation for listing the plugins was.
