Curious why you've added the tracking methods back onto the context (currently Add, Attach, Update, Remove)? How will these differ from the ones on DbSet? So far I'm not seeing a behavior difference. It's confusing because it begs the question "oh no! which one do I use?" I dont' know if its just me, but I've gotten used to using Entry on dbcontext and add, etc. on dbset. I did look for discussion points but didn't see them. Thanks

@julielerman - They both do the same thing. Just makes it easier if you are writing code that doesn't target a particular type... rather than having to create a DbSet and add via that you can just add directly to the context.
