Thanks for digging into the data for us! Francesc Campoy wrote a similar post a little while back and something we realized is that only looking at the amount of imports is very biased and to get a better distribution, you should consider counting an import only once per organization / user. One of the reasons some of the top packages aren’t really popular in real life but yet made it to the top is because some organizations such as cloudfoundry or kubernetes use them heavily.
