When the goal is to ramp down to 0.1ms, saturating to 1ms is just as 
unusable as jumping back to 20ms. In that case, a Pd user would just avoid 
[metro] anyway.

This to say, that I don't care whether the change is applied or not. It 
could as well turn itself OFF as soon as you go below 1ms, I wouldn't 
care.

If I say [metro 0.5], I'm not using a default value.
Furthermore, if I send 0.5 to [metro], right inlet, I'm not using a 
default value.

[metro] doesn't respect the principles that you want Patrice to respect.
