Yeah, that's my point. When we implement the rest of KIP-320, we'll need to propagate the leader epoch from the metadata response to the `Metadata` object. Currently we primarily use the `Cluster` object for this, but we'll need another object for the leader epochs. Adding the leader epoch to `PartitionInfo` would have given this to us for free. Anyway, let's agree to cross that bridge when we get there. For now, I'll remove the field from `PartitionInfo`.
