No, just the proposed feature to keep or delete metadata based on the various operations. Is this behaviour already part of the library, and this issue is just to clarify the intended behaviour, or is this a feature proposal?","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,264049503 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1614#issuecomment-397966050,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/1614,397966050,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDM5Nzk2NjA1MA==,5225190,2018-06-18T07:32:08Z,2018-06-18T07:32:08Z,NONE,"Also - might I suggest you consider some kind of history tracker as part of the metadata propagation? Perhaps metadata could be saved from each step of a set of operations, so that there is a full paper trail for the set of operations have been applied to the data. It could however get complicated to merge together objects with their own separate histories, especially if they ultimately descend from the same original data set. This would be very relevant for scientific analyses.","{""total_count"": 0, ""+1"": 0, ""-1"": 0, ""laugh"": 0, ""hooray"": 0, ""confused"": 0, ""heart"": 0, ""rocket"": 0, ""eyes"": 0}",,264049503 https://github.com/pydata/xarray/issues/1614#issuecomment-397965247,https://api.github.com/repos/pydata/xarray/issues/1614,397965247,MDEyOklzc3VlQ29tbWVudDM5Nzk2NTI0Nw==,5225190,2018-06-18T07:28:32Z,2018-06-18T07:28:32Z,NONE,"Hi, this feature would be very relevant to the intended use case of a project I'd like to use `xarray` for.
