It was during the 0.3 era when it was realized that (surprise!) inserting
different metadata would change the CHK value. This would often happen if
(for example) two people inserted the same thing using FProxy, but one used
"use file extention" and the other set the MIME type manually. Since the
same data is *supposed* to colide when you're using a CHK, it was decided
that it would be best to entirely disallow metadata with CHKs.
