Hi team,

TL:DR; How about adding notes in the dev folder for third party software?

While using third party technologies it is helpful to know why
we are choosing that library or software. Sometimes a comparison
why we chose one over the other.

In the dev folder, (this document does not have to be perfect! :) )
We can write down - how to maintain components, submodules,
libraries, .so files, optimization files recommended upgrade path,
and if appropriate - EOL of the software used, any personal
comments on the integration.

At one point, it will help us sleep peacefully without needing to worry
about whether to migrate to the latest bootstrap version, or jquery is
really necessary to use.

For example, for release scripts next possible improvement would be
using python instead of bash in next years.

As a starting point, added an upgrade notes[1] for dependencies to the
website tech stack.
