This is something that was common for internal libraries at some of the places I've worked. I'm honestly a little surprised it isn't a thing we see externally. I for sure do not want to see it, but I'm surprised we don't. Its probably enough to look at the public usage on GitHub, and make inferences and post notice on future-major-versions of libraries. Github honestly should make a tool to do this, they'd have a huge opportunity to inspect the data.
