Hi, can anyone explain `why` the new `data object` is needed? The 1.8.20 release notes explain `what` it does, but not `why` it was deemed such an important feature as to introduce new syntax?

Edit: Nevermind, I found the KEEP. Should have searched for it first!

Does the information in the ticket and KEEP proposal help?

<@U01681FLZC2> Yeah, I should have searched for it before posting.
