A list like this only seems meaningful if the entries are fairly
consistent with each other.
For instance, if you have packages like:
PACKAGE NAME USE COUNT
-----------------------------------------
EDITOR-1 123
EDITOR-2-VERSION-3 55
EDITOR-2-VERSION-3.1 49
EDITOR-2-VERSION-4 73
The package "EDITOR-1" is "more popular" than any other _package_, but
one could also fairly say that EDITOR-2 is actually more popular than
EDITOR-1 in general. Which should be higher priority?
