Only if you artificially limit the definition of what "real production metadata" is or should be.

Some of us simply don't want the concept to be so limited. Particularly since expanding it don't take anything away from the limited traditional uses that you seem to be stuck on.

Metadata as a concept that yearns to be WAY more broad in scope and potential than camera IDs and Reel numbers.

And I feel it's patently short-sighted to constrain it like that.
