I missed that this was added in #5619 and would have opposed it if I had noticed. These badges are misleading in too many cases to make it worth including. Having seen some of the most wild projects and the impact of install time, I can confidently say that publishing more versions (aka the packument gets larger) is much worse of a problem than all but the most absurd cases of tarball size.
Anyway, it came up here so I thought I would open this PR to discuss.
