I don't know if it currently does this, but it would be useful for popcon
to show counts for public third-party packages that aren't in the archive.
Counts for things like google-chrome or non-archive Kubernetes packages
provide possibly useful information about how our users use the
distribution, and they've opted into sharing that information with us.
That said, I'm not sure that anyone uses that information right now, which
may make this a weak argument.
