Happy May everyone 👋

Talking with our Security team they were curious why the userid is in the json for the categories and exactly are these json are there for?

Their primary concern about is for example, if we decide to delist a topic due to security reasons (which we have done before), could this metadata somehow leak them?

I appreciate the feedback, thank you!
