Comment (by flixos90):

 I agree with the ideas that both of you @kadamwhite and @spacedmonkey are
 highlighting.

 However, my main point is the following: Both of you are mentioning
 specific "extra parts" to registering metadata should be part of this
 ticket right here. I don't see why. Everything related to
 `register_meta()` should definitely be part of 5.0, but this ticket is
 indeed quite complex already, and it is much easier to take care of the
 rest in follow-up tickets, for the sake of overview and also granular
 commits like @spacedmonkey mentioned.

 Instead of arguing why one thing should be part of this and another
 doesn't, I really think we should keep things simple here and do all the
 following things afterwards:
 * Meta default values (#43941)
 * Registerable protected meta values per subtype (#44238)
 * Site meta support when registering meta (#44387)
 * Comment types support or not? (ticket yet to be created)
