This is about the API.

project-kills-buffers is not part of it. It's just a regular user-level
command, to be evolved how we do with regular commands.

project-kill-buffers is great: I don't mean to deprecate it change it,
its protocol etc.  If "evolution" means fixing what are demonstrably
its very salient bugs, that's great.

Philip's worry was about project-kill-buffer-conditions.  That variable
contains a programming language and could be deprecated (if we
arrive at the conclusion that it is easily replaced by something else).
We shouldn't be shy of doing so a backward-incompatible way, given that
its usage is estimated to be minimal (and this estimation is backed up
by real data, not just a guess).
