mmh... this assumes, that not having meta data some kind of false behavoir. Of course, doing this is possible, but in that case, it also should be moved to another place. Otherwise, the position panel will jump around all the time. More comments please!

I think we can leave this as is for the time being. It does not take up much space, and no-one will get upset about a positive green check-mark :-)

True. From a simplicity stand-point, however, removing all but the most important features can result in a much easier experience from the user. So unless you think many users will understand and care about the "meta" status, I still think it would be worth removing it at some point in the future in order to avoid distractions.
