Correct. I'm currently using cover-strategy: branch-description
I kept stumbling across issues with the default strategy so I moved to the
branch description strategy.

And it seems that doesn't work well with b4 prep --cleanup either since it
seems to remove the metadata but doesn't actually remove the branch.

With my recent MODULE_DESCRIPTION cleanup I made the realization that having
the metadata in-tree would have been better since I distributed the work
across multiple repos to have per-architecture builds.

So at some point I'll probably go back to the default strategy.
