  This concept (and the proposed label) is suitable for a developer audience, not a regular user audience.
  
  We have the same issue in Discover when upstreams don't ship enough ApStream metadata. We omit anything that's missing instead of labeling the missing sections with some kind of admonishment to the upstreams. Developers like us should take care of browbeating non-compliant upstream software vendors; we shouldn't push that work onto users.
