If this is done, the likelyhood of invalid data for the given Spin is pretty
high. For example, Workstation could show as being more popular than all of
the other spins combined, just because it's more popular than any given spin
(likely because it's advertised prominently, while other spins are hidden
behind a link at the middle of the download page).
Just as a note, Workstation isn't a spin, it's a Fedora Edition:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Editions
framing it as if it's "just another spin" is a bit off. Its prominence
is quite intentional and the whole Fedora.next / editions thing was
precisely about picking some specific 'flavors' of Fedora and giving
them prominence over the others.
