I'm not too familiar with the deep internals of the framework either. What
we've seen is that with the records API it just makes sense to leverage the
provenance system because it already tracks the attributes in a clean way you
can leverage for stuff like giving managers a nice little ELK dashboard for the
warm fuzzies.---
