Coupling metadata and forward-only changes was a design mistake.
The forward-only category has a bunch of implications on how data is computed and reused. For example, table deployability, data previews, etc decisions are directly linked to this category.
However, none of these features apply to metadata changes. I've already seen quite a few unexpected behaviors related to the fact that metadata updates were categorized as forward-only which led to redundant computations in both dev and prod.
This update introduces a new category dedicated specifically to metadata-only changes.
