Not necessarily. I mean you could still have views of the data like they do now, rising stars, under 100k etc. But their golden ticket in my opinion is that they rank them on things such as developer activity in both updates and support.

I mean I don't mind if their tool shows me a plugin with 1million downloads. Because if it is ranked high there it likely has a good developer behind it, who is both active in support and releasing updates.

Ratings to me can go either way. I've seen plugins with good support and great features get trashed in reviews.
