As I understood it, there is no required way to use Storyboard for 
tracking what used to be 'Blueprints'.  So each time will need to 
document how they use Storyboard to record such things.  If I am 
incorrect about this I apologize.

Fair enough.  It would help if we had buy-in from all of the projects 
but you are right that nothing prevents us from achieving consensus from 
those are are willing to participate.
