You can't have a strict rule ("must") requiring something vague ("best for the 
project").

What is best for the project tomorrow may differ from today. What is best for 
the project w.r.t. Linux distributions may differ from that w.r.t. Windows 
users. What is best for long term maintainability and sustainability of the 
project does not align with the best publicity and functionality in the short 
term. It is also inherently both subjective and unknowable.

This sentence just creates fodder for future accusations of bad faith, 
hypocrisy, misjudgement against TC decisions. While the sentence is meaning 
well, it adds absolutely nothing of value.
