 * The name is shorter, but remains recognizable.
 
+Because *a lot* of these objects are created, they now define ``__slots__``. This means you can
+no longer monkey-patch them to add new attributes at runtime. You have to create a subclass if you
+want to define new attributes.
+
+This also means that the updates from ``events.Raw`` **no longer have** ``update._entities``.
