Hi,

Lets say when it came time to start the capture the instructor saw the
interface for the agent on an AMX device in the classroom, noticed a
typo, and corrected it.

Here's a tricky question, what happens when the agent wants to delete
some metadata from the core - how does it do this if the core is just
taking the union of the two metadata files (its original metadata and
the agents new metadata)?

e.g. The instructor notices the room is incorrect, so deletes the room
metadata key.

We need to support:
1. agent does nothing with metadata
2. agent changes metadata values
3. agent adds new metadata keys
4. agent removed metadata keys

The problem with a declarative approach (which we are taking by
ingesting media packages instead of operations, and which I fully
support because it lowers coupling) is that the lack of a particular
field doesn't clarify if that means a removal of the field or just a
lack of updating that field.
