In retrospect, using the word "meta" everywhere becomes useless. No layer
contains actual sources and never should, so they're all "meta" data, it's
redundant to have to say so in every layer's name (etc).

It would have been better to use that space to convey something meaningful,
such as: "whether a layer was designed to be a bsp, a distro, something
else, or a combination", or perhaps other meaningful information.
