It does have a layer called just "meta" though...

In retrospect, using th= e word "meta" everywhere becomes useless. No layer contains actua= l sources and never should, so they're all "meta" data, it= 9;s redundant to have to say so in every layer's name (etc).

It would have been better to use that space to convey something mea= ningful, such as: "whether a layer was designed to be a bsp, a distro,= something else, or a combination", or perhaps other meaningful inform= ation.
