This means that although  these libraries were designed as private some 
apps/libs used them.
We found this when we did this list.
The apps should be changed not to use these libraries but this is the 
situation in 1.4.x
This is the reason we publish such a list - so new apps will use only 
public libraries and will not count on any private library

You are correct and this is actually old link. MPI will not use it in 
1.5, since libibcommon was removed from the new management tree.
