Again, what metadata? The filter isn't metadata.
There is the metadata and then the process that acts on the metadata.
The filter is obviously not metadata but can be created from metadata
(we just happen to do it by hand now). The information about every
plugin and artifact that would be used as part of a session we do
have. We also know what is in the distribution. Given all the
information we can look at everything and not download 7 versions of
maven-core.
