Thank you.

I don't think “most projects need” is supported by evidence.

Fortunately, for the argument in the PEP, you don't need “most projects
need” to be true; you only need “a significant number of projects”. It
could be a small minority, but if it is a significantly large minority
that still justifies addressing the need.

So, change this to “a significant number of projects need” and I think
it's a fair statement.

Thank you for working to make this a good PEP.
