I can't think of many concrete things at the moment, it just feels like the 
right thing to do.  In particular, if we expose this new object over the API, 
it will be more useful to have the publishing records because SPR is not an 
API object.

It's also slightly future proof in that we might want to show component, 
pocket etc on that page at some point.
