 Replying to [comment:8 atagar]:
 > Admittedly this is mostly just an issue for metrics descriptors since
 the filename is a reliable indicator for cached files. Using the filename
 feels like a bit of a hack which is why I wanted to apply this to cached
 descriptors too, but it's not horrible. I'm fine with proceeding with this
 as being a metrics-only header. Thoughts, Karsten?

 I'm fine with adding annotation headers to metrics tarballs only.  I just
 created a new section on the
 [https://metrics.torproject.org/formats.html#descriptortypes formats
 page].  I'm going to start adding meta data to server descriptors today.
