I wouldn't say it's "new"; the code in there dates back to 2011.

But recently, we've done some more work to explore how heavyweight
resources -- that is, those that subclass Chef::Resource and
Chef::Provider directly -- could make for much more reusable
cookbooks. You can see examples of this in the 'httpd' and 'mysql'
cookbooks.

In other words, everything old is new again. [1]
