The last sentence makes no sense.  The term "Restrictive uses" is poorly
defined.  The reduction in scope is effectively a reduction to just the
cases where the extension is mandatory, if that's what you intend to do
then say so (expect pushback).

Please do not imply that any non-mandatory "additive" use-cases are
viable.  They are not.
