That was the reason cgimap started (for the map call, hence the name) but it
then moved on as more calls were added both for performance reasons and just to
try and make it a complete API implementation, which I suspect was the case
here.

him about this ;-)

Sounds fine to me - that call is metadata only so there's no performance
concerns.
