Some library modifications require extra checks or modifications in PMDs
but currently we don't have a good way to trace these modifications.
And number of these kind of updates increasing by time.
This is an effort to document and track library updates that requires
attention in PMDs.
Although this is under documentation main use case is for internal
development.
