No. I am not saying to move back to old implementation. I am saying to
implement "attributes" feature to SCIM filtering also. Currently we have it
only for SCIM listing. So if we implement that, by default filtering will
return only metadata. And if needed extra attributes, we can specifically
request like in SCIM listing.
