Yes, I want the metadata to map cleanly to a single data structure so it can be more easily managed through things that *aren't* file systems (such as finally getting the installation database to support import hooks and also for potential metadata publication through TUF). However, decomposing it for efficient runtime access and backwards compatibility reasons makes sense.
