Isn't it more or less tuned so we get an average of one new Featured Article per day? Any less could be a problem, any more and people start adding bells and whistles to the criteria.

But then, we are talking about recognition. I suspect the mathematicians have pretty much given up on FAs, because (a) it is hard to justify the effort, compared with other things you could do in the time, and (b) other kinds of recognition matter to them.
