The metadata will continue to be stored in the global metadata block, and if the client requests lazy loading of metadata will only be loaded during `materializeMetadata` (alongside other metadata in the global metadata block), except that now it will be attached to the global using a `METADATA_GLOBAL_DECL_ATTACHMENT` record.
