I had started to work on extracting just the EntityEntryInterface and 
factory, so can continue on that. Which issue do we want to log this 
under. There is already HHH-9265?

I think for our case that we only need Immutable entities, not sure of 
any other scenarios where you would need to optimise Read Only entities
