All of the methods in this class are transitional and should be removed when the transition process is complete. Having these in use will make identifying dregs and cleaning them up easier. A search for any of these methods will identify parts of the code that are still in transition or haven't really begun to transition.
When one method A has been changed to Valkyrie and method A calls method B passing a model object and
method B has not been converted to Valkyrie and is expecting to receive an ActiveFedora object, the
.to_active_fedora
method allows you to pass the received object not knowing its class and receive back
an ActiveFedora object.
