 Hi there,

 Just reporting that the Twenty Seventeen theme v2.2 checks whether the
 entry footer is empty in order to avoid a huge blank space.

 ''/inc/template-tags.php''
 {{{#!php
 <?php
                 // We don't want to output .entry-footer if it will be
 empty, so make sure its not.
                 if ( ( ( twentyseventeen_categorized_blog() &&
 $categories_list ) || $tags_list ) || get_edit_post_link() ) {


 }}}


 However, this check fails for cases of posts of a custom post type with no
 taxonomy terms associated and a big empty space gets inserted at the
 bottom of the singular page.

 `$categories_list` is not empty as the string value `Uncategorized` is
 assigned by `get_the_category_list()` (/wp-includes/category-template.php)
