    15  // Package metadata implements handling of prefix metadata.
    16  //
    17  // Each element of the package namespace (known as "package path prefix" or just
    18  // "prefix") can have some metadata attached to it, like Access Control List or
    19  // the prefix description. Such metadata is generally inherited by the packages
    20  // that has the prefix.
    21  //
    22  // The current implementation of PrefixMetadata is based on legacy ACL entities
    23  // produced by Python version of the backend (see legacy.go). It will eventually
    24  // be replaced.
