x-friends means the package is not API, but we want to allow certain other plugins to access it without getting API tools warnings. It is really equivalent to x-internal for most consumers. So, if you see a package that has x-friends that you believe should be API, speak up now so it can be fixed.

So far I believed that platform does either use x-internal for marking API as internal or provisional. What is the reasoning behind the usage of x-friends?
