Well, my take is that it is really weird that the response to "I deleted the
metadata from my container and now I cannot query the very metadata I
deleted." (hardly a surprise!) is "Let us just duplicate the same metadata
somewhere else, bloating the files for all users, even those who did *not*
delete the data it turns out they need." I cannot follow that logic at all.

Whether you follow it or not, it has happened, it is happening and it will keep happening,
because for others it is perfectly logical and highly desirable. So one can either stay
here and complain all day long that containers are bad and they are all doing them wrong,
and if they only listened to reason everything would be just perfect, or one can do
something to significantly improve the baseline for everybody at a cost so ridiculously
negligible that if the same standard were applied to compiler updates or changing build
flags or whatnot nothing would ever, ever change.
