The way I see it, this is part of the type (like memory space is part of memref type). For most transformation this should be a pass through. Some transformations (in-tree or out-of three) can implement transformations that use these attributes. As Harsh mentioned I dont expect anything to directly work on this Attribute type, but this is the parent class for all derived attribute types for specific use cases..
There is going to be the issue of making sure transformations dont drop the attribute from the type, but that is probably something worth doing anyway.
