How does one call 'dpkg' or 'apt' popular when one doesn't really have a choice --- it's a dedian system after all.I doubt it really makes a difference. All the 'required' packages are going to be supported regardless of their ranking in "Popularity Contest", but it would make for a more useful list of they just left the required packages off it.
Except... some required packages can be admired, e.g. gcc + c++ Or the kernel.
