I guess what I'm proposing is either an additional documentation effort or a further clarification or honing of the intention of documentation efforts associated with PLIPs. Specifically, that some effort to address community impact should be a part of documentation efforts. Just to collect feedback, is your comment that you don't think this additional intention/focus doesn't bring additional value sufficient to formally include it in the PLIP process? Thanks!
