  * \file tvm/relay/pass.h
  * \brief The set of Relay passes written in C++.
+ *
+ * This file also implements a pass manager. The pass manager manages a sequence
+ * of Relay-to-Relay transformation passes over a particlar unit of AST. The
+ * design is largely inspired from LLVM's pass manager and modern deep learning
+ * frameworks that perform tensor->tensor transformations.
+ *
+ * The responsibilities of a traditional compiler pass manager usually involves:
+ *  - Organizing the execution order of optimization passes though not
+ * necessarily in the optimal sequence.
+ *  - Collecting required analysis information and keep them up-to-date.
+ *  - Reducing the effort required to implement new passes for compiler
+ * developers, etc.
+ *
+ * Similar to LLVM's pass manager, we designed the Relay pass manager to work
+ * different granularity, i.e. module level, function level, and even sequential
+ * passe that contains a host of passes.
+ *
+ * However, we also extend the functionality of the traditional pass manager
+ * with the consideration of requirements/convention from deep learning
+ * frameworks, such as Pytorch and Gluon, etc. Each pass in the Relay pass
+ * manager performs the Relay.Module -> Relay.Module transformation. All
+ * different types of passes, including the sequential-level pass object, are
+ * essentially pass objects. This design, therefore, effectively provides users
+ * a consistent and convenient interface, i.e. Pass, to play with. It offers a
+ * means to ease the development and testing of Relay passes. For example, with
+ * the pass manager, external users will be able to have custom passes correctly
+ * scheduled without having to modify a single handcrafted pass order.
+ *
+ * In the future we need to describe constraints between passes. For example,
+ * we may want to preserve dependencies between different passes and validate
+ * them on the completion of a certain pass.
+ *
+ * We also need to store side information and import the error reporting system.
