I would lean towards not dropping them (or making a `drop=True` or `drop_columns=True`or `drop_missing_columns=True`) to work with existing tables easier. 

I do like that sqlite-utils mostly just works with existing tables but it's also nice to add to existing fields in a few cases.

A short term solution might be pointing out in plugins that their snippet json can go in `metadata.json` at least makes it easier to search for config options or to know where to start if someone is new.
