Hi,

 This fixes a non-problem.  Why overload metadata.xml with information
that will rot there probably, because nobody thinks of it?  There is
only very few 0-day bump-requests, so just leave them until you fix
it.  I am not annoyed by it and having some policy like "Only allow
them when the relative moon humidity is below 0.434" will irritate
bug filers, as they won't check and it burdens
bug-wranglers if they have to check before.
