Initially the Variant class was named RepresentationMetadata, until the
point where it seemed especially useful in the context of content
negotiation on the resource. So, it was renamed but kept all representation
metadata until recently where we realized it needed refactoring. Some
developers were assuming that the size, dates, etc. should be known in
advance when listing the available variants.

No problem.
