Personally, I'd prefer to have a choice in preferences or tweaks to just overwrite the metadata quietly. I use metadata download only for isbn's, pubdates, and covers. The confirmation prompt can be startling and disruptive, because I am nearly always doing something else somewhere else when it insists on being dealt with. Further disruptive is the additional confirmation box noticing that I changed metadata since initiating the metadata request - if I didn't want to change that metadata, I wouldn't have changed it. The download metadata feature is great in general, except for that, and a choice in prefs or tweaks would solve my startlement problem and give me the problem of remembering which isbns, pubdates, and covers just got downloaded so I can doublecheck them. I'd rather have the latter problem.
