I would not suggest you to use Asset.type to store custom information as
this field is a reserved property in Guvnor thus there is no guarantee
the information you stored will be preserved in the future.
I'm perfectly aware of that, and prepared to change it in the future.
Thing is that I need to store additional information. For packages, it's
quite easy, I just place a specific file in that package. For Assets, I
only see 2 choices currently: type or note. Pretty much everything else
that the REST API offers is used for different things.
Of course, the ideal solution for me would be if the API offered a
generic key/value list for "other metadata".
