I have heard good arguments both ways. Here is how I see it. 

For the recipient of a message, "optional" is the preferred choice. Then any 
legacy recipient's code is always prepared for everything and robust wrt. 
changing to "required". Not the other way around.

But for the sender, "required" is the better choice, making sender code more 
robust. If legacy senders still provide the field when it has become optional, 
that's OK. Not the other way around.

So which side are we on in this case? As much as this is an internal protocol, 
we are on neither side and we can change this in arbitrary ways. 

This is an external protocol if someone else than a Mesos slave uses 
mesos-fetcher. (Maybe a special external containerizer.) Then we are providing 
the message recipient and we have to be on that side. Therefore I am voting for 
"optional".
