Anybody know how this value is derived and what it actually means?  The only definition I am finding is the one in the help menu and it is not very helpful.  What does change tracked mean and how can I use it?

No clue...never used it, but the only reference to tracking and editing is associated with variants of this

Enable Editor Tracking—Help | ArcGIS for Desktop

so guessing wildly on this, but it is a dataset and technically has that property so if you want to experiment have a read

Thanks, but already I tested it on feature classes and datasets with editor tracking turned on/off with no results.  Regardless of editor tracking being enabled I get a FALSE for both feature classes and datasets.  Most likely going to drop ESRI a line to find out.
