@zeroshade and @wgtmac, the wording in the current spec is clear: > The group must contain a field named `metadata` and a field named `value`. This spec has been adopted by the community and has deployed implementations, including proprietary implementations. The change proposed here is a compatibility breaking change because it would allow a field that is currently required to be omitted. We should not make changes like this to the spec because it could break implementations that rely on this field. A breaking change like this would need to go into a new compatibility version. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
