First off: This is a brilliant general idea, that help text is badly in need of improvement.

However, much of the functionality is natively available and the descriptions may suggest otherwise. Long story short, I think this should be further subdivided into sections for libs that extend functionality in some way and libs that provide alternatives to existing functionality.
