Remove attr_accessible from Katello
Description
At some point it would be nice to remove the attr_accessible calls from Katello models as we could/should just use strong parameters for mass assignment security.
See the following post for more information on this:

As of this comment, I see the following instances still:
vagrant@katello-devel katello (master)$ grep -r attr_accessible app/ app/models/katello/concerns/smart_proxy_extensions.rb: attr_accessible :lifecycle_environment_ids app/models/katello/concerns/container_extensions.rb: attr_accessible :capsule_id app/models/katello/concerns/organization_extensions.rb: attr_accessible :label

The models that extend foreman will continue to use attr_accessible while foreman uses protected attributes. When they change to strong parameters, we will be able to remove those attr_accessible calls

From reviewing the Rails 4 PR, was attr_accessible only needed when those parameters were set via a create or update_attributes call? Could we change where those variables are assigned to the block/direct method to remove these?

They are mostly through create or update_attributes afaik, but would have to look closer to be sure. Is there a benefit to setting them directly vs. using attr_accessible?

Decided to close for now. It's not an issue unless foreman drops protected attributes and hopefully they will notify us before doing so.
