I think that developer is responsible for his patch. He should know what
he doing. When he will send a patch and see checkbox like "modified AM?"
then he should know what he modified? It is also warning for commiter
that catalog version has to be bumped during a commit.
I don't see any method how to check automatically. Something could be
possible - like structure checker. But when meaning of data is going to
be different.
