Talking about metadataless, I just bumped into:
https://pharo.manuscript.com/f/cases/22865/ using

*MetacelloCypressBaselineProjec*t.

I'm pushing a PR as an attempt to fix it but for sure if Dale can give
it a review it will be great!
https://github.com/pharo-project/pharo/pull/2173

Then we need to fix it upstream in Metacello.

Regards,

Gabriel
