This is a personal opinion

This is my imagination of how things should work™.

Node should be just an entry in a node array, containing as little information as possible.

Metadata would be obsolete.

Node entity is the key concept. It should be as lightweight as possible, but only as possible retaining all the customization options. It would represent any non-plain object that is currently represented by a node, or a set of different nodes replacing each other all the time (like active and inactive furnace).
