I might also be interpreting it wrong, but this seems to be a bit more than just "increased efficiency" to me. It would legally require providers to keep metadata that can currently be deleted - including never retaining it in the first place.
Hmm, fair point. I guess I default to assuming that data is already kept, just often not long enough for law enforcement to come and request it (in a way that's functionally the same as never even saving it I guess), but practically this would mean lots of providers starting to keep records, also the storage requirement would be enormous if it's saved at every hop, so practicality is a concern too.
