rax_meta module only supports complete replacement?

It looks like the rax_meta module only supports the complete replacment of
the existing metadata with a new struct of metadata. Is that right, or am
I overlooking something? (I'm using 1.7.2, but it looks like the current
version at
https://github.com/ansible/ansible-modules-core/blob/devel/cloud/rackspace/rax_meta.py
is the same.)

If that's correct, would there be interested in a patch to do things like
add or remove a single entry from the metadata?

Yes, at current that is the way that it works. I would be open to an option that allows manipulating individual metadata key/value pairs instead of complete replacements.
