Review comment:
       It seems strange that System.Catalog is the source of truth, we've just 
been there on the server, and yet the client copy controls. Will look closer at 
MetadataClient as you suggest to understand why. 
   
   Are we missing tests? Because assuming the client-side copy _should_ 
control, my replacing it with the server-side copy should have broken tests 
somewhere, and it doesn't appear to.
