[jira] [Comment Edited] (SLING-10648) API Regions: Support exposing a package but preventing extending classes or implementing interfaces from it

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SLING-10648?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17384769#comment-17384769 ]

If you prevent visibility of packages to other regions then using `@ProviderType` and `@ConsumerType` on the class level doesn't make a difference as the whole package is invisible!
This request is about restricting which API region may implement a provider type!

>             Project: Sling
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: Feature Model

>            Priority: Major
>
> In some cases certain packages expose API interfaces which should not be implemented by any bundles outside the API region but still be exported for regular usage.
> This is similar to the annotation {{@ProviderType}} or {{@noimplement}} and {{@noextend}} from [Eclipse PDE|https://wiki.eclipse.org/PDE/API_Tools/Restrictions] but allows restricting to a certain context.
> This is triggered by the discussion in https://github.com/Adobe-Consulting-Services/acs-aem-commons/issues/2648.
