   Here is the R&D PR: https://github.com/openedx/xblocks-contrib/pull/128/files

   @ttqureshi and I had a brainstorming session around this, and below are the key takeaways:

   1. We can directly replace the legacy XModuleMixin attributes with native XBlock fields, as demonstrated in the above R&D PR.
   2. We need to run the edx-platform test suite against these changes and will likely need to fix any resulting failures.
   3. This approach allows us to completely remove the legacy XModuleMixin attributes.
   4. We will also move toward accessing base XBlock fields rather than using meaningful property names. For example:

   self.url_name  ->  self.scope_ids.usage_id.block_id
