For the time being the {{tag|version}}, {{tag|authors}} and {{tag|description}} are strictly optional. However, addon developers are strongly encouraged to provide such meta information, which is entirely in line with the existing practice in [[Aircraft-set.xml]] files, and doing so will make it much easier in the future to extend/improve on the addon framework, e.g. by making breaking changes, provided that addons specify the proper {{tag|version}} tag.
Furthermore, agreeing early on to provide, require and use such meta-information, will make it increasingly easy to also use the scenery/aircraft management back-ends implemented on top of the [[Catalog metadata]] and [[Package manager]] systems to also use these for installing, managing/updating, and removing addons in the future.
