I think this FAQ is possibly unnecessary, in that I don't know that it will even be frequently asked! I would say we don't need to implement this unless we get the question. But just in case...
In the merged AnnData objects, we necessarily had to sacrifice some amount of metadata because of challenges with data format conversions from R -> python. Most, but not all, of this metadata is available in the single_cell_metadata.tsv that comes with the download. We might consider an FAQ about why there is relatively less metadata in AnnData compared to SCE merged objects, and the answer is because of technical differences in object formatting.
