This makes it risky for core library developers as they might introduce new interdependencies and observe CDS to fail. By moving the mechanism of these lists to core library annotations as a first step, we can gradually expose the AOT contracts as program semantics described by internal annotations, and also helps us to explore how we can expose these functionalities to the public later.
