So how many projects on PyPI currently have == or === in their
requires? I've never seen one (although my sample size isn't large -
but it does cover major packages in a large-ish range of application
areas).

I'm curious as to how major this problem is in practice. I (now)
understand the theoretical argument for the proposal.
