Probably should refactor all of these at some point to use the idiomatic syntax.

We can also do updateQuietly - this however prevents all model events/observers from being triggered (including Auditable).

Thanks for the alternative. In most cases that this hack is used, it's for bulk updates that don't send model events/observers anyways, so that shouldn't be an issue. However, if the goal is to not update the updated_at timestamp, then it's probably better to call a function named withoutTimestamps. We also generally try and avoid relying on too many model events/observers so that we can have more freedom to optimize our database queries.
