Removing the Atomic reference makes sense.
As far as removing the fields goes, yes, both would be removed. Code could
be updated where siblings.name needs to be explicitly defined in order to
remove the nested name field. Currently the desire was to remove fields at
every level to make the functionality itself simpler.
