In terms of roadmap discussion, it would be great to be able to audit usage of private/restricted UI5 APIs, this allows keeping the UI5 codebase in a proper way and significantly reduces risks, problems, and costs with the apps maintenance.

Regarding CPOUI5FOUNDATION-856, it allows getting rid of eslint-plugin-ui5depchk and completely switching to ui5-linter.
