You're misinterpreting what Richard wrote.  He's explaining the
*history* of the draft, not the rationale for the future, which
Richard, I, and you don't know yet.  In your response, you changed all
occurrences of "need" to the present tense (note the past tense above)
which, urmh, changes the semantics to something that raises a few
hackles with me.
