I understand "lots of" > "quite a few" > "a few". And synonyms do not 
have exact meaning...

But now I was told that "quite a few" has emphasise meaning "more then 
expected".

For me it is normal fact that there are lot of machines with WMI. But if 
meaning in commit message should be "I'm surprise how many machines are 
with WMI", then "quite a few" better fit.

So choose what you prefer or want...
