In the long run it maybe could be better to have an explicit check_availability
hook, but IMO it's a bit late in the release cycle for that as this needs a bit
extra care, especially w.r.t. external plugins and our ABI compat.

Anyhow, as workaround we might be able to do this check in the on_add_hook and
on_update_hook methods for now.
