Where do you want it put?
Metadata makes the components easier to use, deploy and maintain. You could
store it outside the components in config files but then you have to make
sure multiple artefacts keep in sync. Having the config files generated from
the source (or baked in) makes maintainence simple. Best place to document
code is with the code and metadata is just aform of documentation.
