This file is the source of truth for each `version` at rest. `xl.meta` is a msgpack file serialized from a
well defined data structure. To understand `xl.meta` here are the few things to start with

`xl.meta` carries first 8 bytes an XL header which describes the current format and the format version,
allowing the unmarshaller's to automatically use the right data structures to parse the subsequent content in the stream.

DeleteMarker on the target shows `X-Amz-Replication-Status` of `REPLICA`. The status of DeleteMarker replication is returned by `X-Minio-Replication-DeleteMarker-Status` header on `HEAD/GET` calls for the delete marker version in question - i.e with `mc stat --version-id dm-version-id`

It must be noted that if active-active replication is set up with delete marker replication, there is potential for duplicate delete markers to be created if both source and target concurrently set a Delete Marker...
