### Bug report See title. The new metadata support for SVG backend does not seem to honor a `None` Date metadata. **Code for reproduction** ```python plot([1, 2], [2, 3]) savefig("a.svg", metadata={'Date': None}) ``` **Actual outcome** The output svg file contains the `Date` metedata **Expected outcome** As the [doc](https://matplotlib.org/3.3.0/api/backend_svg_api.html#matplotlib.backends.backend_svg.FigureCanvasSVG.print_svg) says > Values have been predefined for 'Creator', 'Date', 'Format', and 'Type'. They can be removed by setting them to None. Setting the other three to `None` indeed works but not for `Date`. **Matplotlib version** * Operating system: ArchLinux * Matplotlib version: 3.3.0 * Matplotlib backend (`print(matplotlib.get_backend())`): `Qt5Agg` * Python version: 3.8.3 * Jupyter version (if applicable): (core: 4.6.3) not applicable Installed from ArchLinux repo.
