New issue 1596: [Federation] client_registration_types client metadata
https://bitbucket.org/openid/connect/issues/1596/federation-client_registration_types

Takahiko Kawasaki:

OpenID Connect Federation 1.0 defines the `client_registration_types` client metadata. Its type is a JSON array which may contain `automatic` and/or `explicit`.

I’m afraid that the client metadata is useless. There is no need to reference the value of the client metadata after a client is registered. Even during the client registration process, there is no need for an authorization server to care about the client metadata.

Am I missing something? Otherwise, the client metadata should be removed from the specification.
