Rather poorly designed, it appears (to me at least).

It's not data, as far as I'm concerned ... no more than the link between
a logical and physical file is (meta data at best).

Yes, I grant you, I can query the system tables that contain the
information, but the system is (or should be) managing the information
in those tables.  When I do a restore and change the target library, it
is ABSOLUTELY the job of the OS to change the contents of those meta
data files so it fits with the restore command.
