CASSIO DOS SANTOS commented on ATLAS-819:
-----------------------------------------
Can you confirm that this is not going to be the default for "all user defined
types" as stated in the description, but instead an optional base class, or
rather a couple of optional base classes, one with the read-only system
attributes and one with 'name' and 'description', as per Dave comments, with
which I fully agree?
We have such classes in our application and other applications are likely to
have something similar, so making it optional would give more flexibility to
application developers.
Based on my experience, it's not uncommon to have classes for which even those
read-only system attributes are not required or desired (unnecessary overhead),
as they represent objects that may need to be referenced from multiple objects
but are to be otherwise handled as "lightweight" sub-objects of another
root/parent object.
> All user defined types should have a set of common attributes

> * name
