I will review this sometime over the holidays, but it sounds sane and my only real concern is the breaking of back-compat. I think we need to make 100% sure we know what we are breaking and where, if it is only role attribute introspection I suspect we are okay, but a change this fundamental could have deeper impacts. I think we should run the biggest smolder test possible to make sure we are not breaking assumptions.
In theory, we could preserve some role introspection back compat by making sure that the attribute objects returned have the same hash keys as the old object-free version. That seems like a really hideous thing to do, though.
For other things, fortunately we have a handy new tool for running the Smolder tests.
