The early ones with label attr.c are meant to be "good clean-ups, whether we decide to go with API update or not, that can live standalone outside the series"; the remainders may have been better labeled with fully-spelled "attributes:", perhaps, as that is not about the attr.c file alone, but is about the whole attributes subsystem.
