That is not unlike V2, it's the same as V2. Neither will do anything involving the configuration for you, and that would be wrong to do, that's not how metadata works. Metadata is not derived from your configuration alone but from the desired public state of that configuration, which can only be determined by a human. We don't have the notion in the config of "keys that are usable but not yet published", so there's no way to generate metadata automatically and not break things.

Nothing has changed in that respect. Nothing should be using that file anyway but the result of the URL is a JSP that reads the file from idp.home/metadata/idp-metadata.xml, which is on disk and not in the war by default.
