+%  \subsection{Prepare for suporting PDF management in backends}
+%
+%    At the current point in time support for PDF management in
+%    backends is not part of \LaTeX{} core but provided by external.
+%    packages. At some time in the future that work will be placed
+%    into the kernel but for now it is separate and has to be
+%    explicitly loaded in the document.
+%
+%    There is a command \cs{IfPDFManagementActiveTF} in that code
+%    which checks if the PDF management code is activated, which can
+%    be used by packages to execute different code branches depending
+%    on the state.
+%
+%    To make this also work properly if the external package is not
+%    loaded at all this command is already made available in the
+%    kernel (with a trivial definition) so that other packages can
+%    query the state in a circumstances.  Once the PDF management
+%    support moves to the kernel this definition here will vanish
+%    again or rather will be replaced by a real test.
+%
+% 
+%  \begin{macro}{\IfPDFManagementActiveTF}
+%    While the PDF management code is not loaded, the test will
+%    alsways return the false branch. Once this code is loaded, it
+%    is replaced by a real test (as then it is possible that the
+%    management code is activate or not activated).
