In the sentence starting with

Types whose methods need access to their module instance will be converted to heap types[...]

please emphasize (bold!) "whose methods need access to their module instance".

Also emphasize this paragraph:

"Static types that do not need module state access, and have no other reason to be converted, should stay static."

I hadn't noticed the qualification in the first sentence and had assumed all types were to be converted, until I came across the second at the very end of the section (where it is easily overlooked by lazy readers :-).

Hello,
Please provide any feedback you might have on PEP 687 – Isolating
modules in the standard library: https://peps.python.org/pep-0687/

 From recent discussions around “what should have a PEP”, it’s clear
that this should have been a PEP long ago. Better late than never, I guess!

We submit this PEP to explain the changes, seek consensus on whether
they are good, propose the remaining changes, and set best practices for
new modules.

There's a discussion thread on Discourse:
https://discuss.python.org/t/pep-687-isolating-modules-in-the-standard-library/14824
