If it's a matter of portability, users can still put the metadata inside the repository itself (if they put the repository in a directory based e.g git/local file system). It's just that they need to explicitly put the metadata URI in the settings when adding a repository. If users want to make a zip collections, they need to put the metadata somewhere else outside the zip. I agree with Ale though that most users probably prefer this, they can just put a zip and the metadata file in dropbox or google drive for example.
