The problem with that is that it makes refactoring and such much less

Yes, good point.

Funny how this is not a problem with XML or Java configuration, but only
with annotations - these should be progress, not regress.

Yeah it's very frustrating that they didn't consider this when they designed the reflection API. Things like this makes it much more difficult to add some meta programming capabilities that are driven by the Java sources alone. By discarding the order, they're really throwing information away that is very valuable and thus requires you to declare it twice.
