The general module design goal is to implement types/providers for most
tasks, which has some benefits:

- bulk prefetching (of table data in this case) may be an option
- single properties of system entities can be modeled separately
- the agent will make more succinct and useful reports
- it's therefor easier *and* more performant to implement fine grained
management

...there may be more.

Exec is mainly a crutch for places in which no provider is yet
available. It can be worthwile in some instances, of course, but in the
majority of applications, there is a strong case for type support.
