The problem was that because it's implemented as a property the calls to the metadata uses a lot of time. Since the metadata causes ugly config files and should be hidden in the task-inspector. It vote for not putting it yet to the release.
A nice concept is would like to mention is the connection_tracking (branch on orocos.rb), but unfortunately it makes the whole system deployment 2x slower, and is also in a rough early state (no monitoring of broken connection etc.). I vote for putting in in the next release if the config-problem is solved, and the metadata becomes a attribute.
