Actually, I'm quite certain that we're collectively bright enough to optimize a solution to that problem, should it be necessary. Metadata can be used in a lot of ways...

The installer should only be using the api to determine the size of an install, abuse of metadata is likely to result in a broken installer or bad results at some point :(
