My opinion is simply that most container information is to be regarded
as authoriative. With a generic tool that understands the container you
can change all relevant information, even if new codecs etc are
developped. mkvmerge removes the bitstream AR info so that there's no
ambiguity, especially if the container AR is changed afterwards.
