Hi Dan, are you going to cook a patch to expand the base class? Or we can do that ourselves?

For the list, I also agree your dirty assumption.

Well, like the Instance object does, you can override obj_what_changed() to expose that fact to the caller. However, I think it might be good to expand the base class to check, for any NovaObject fields, for the
obj_what_changed() of the child.

How does that sound?
