Those fields were introduced by the data package integration but have never been exposed to users, have no fixed semantics (meaning of the string values is not specified anywhere) so it is cleaner to drop them.
Introducing more column metadata fields would make sense but needs to be done with a real use case in mind. We can reintroduce such fields easily when such a use case comes up.
