Will the current metadata format be dropped?

Hi,

As of today enhanced metadata format is in preview. What happens when it goes to GA? Will there be two metadata formats at the same time: current and enhanced? Or will the current one be dropped?

I'd be very grateful for letting me know.

I've got a file that works without any hindrance in Power BI service now. When I apply a new metadata format for this file it seems to get broken when is being published to the service. I can still analyze the data but I am not able to refresh the dataset any more. In Parameters section there are no parameters defined any more. Instead, all I could see there is a message “Parameters haven’t been defined for this dataset yet…”

Unfortunately the ticket (120031822002515 ) I submitted didn't bring any result.

That's why I am so anxious to know if the current metadata format pesists to exist

@Sergiy Currently there are many challenges with Enhanced Meta Data and since it is in preview, I'm sure there are tons of bug. I believe once it is in GA, most likely it will be bug-free and I believe there will be a setting to turn this on/off but too much unknown. I guess wait-n-watch.
