User Defined Fields (UDF) vrs Attributes... how will the future look?

In the past month we have gone through a "phase 2" implementation of MYOB Advanced (Acumatica) that has seen a massive increase in the use of Attributes on Projects, Sales Orders, Business Accounts, Inventory as well as a big uptick in the number of business events, notifications (incl push notifications), GIs and reports that all reference these UDFs / attributes. 

 

I am worried when I hear from our implementation partner that "attributes are going to be replaced by UDFs" 

How wise am I to continue to add attributes? (which have transformed the product to make it fit our business uniquenesses like a glove) 

 

Is there anything you know about this @Naveen B or @Tim Rodman that could be of benefit to the wider Acumatica family to know?

The last thing I want is for all the attributes to need to be rewritten and all the GIs, reports, events, notifications to have to be redone... Or even worse, for us to get parked in the "too hard to upgrade" cul-de-sac with any future updates to the core platform.
