Thanks Carl for spotting this! I'll correct it in the docs.
Yes, the default for the metatype generation when using tags is true while it is false for annotations. There is a section at the end of the page listening differences between the two. Now the reason for changing the default from true to false is that it turned out services without metatype are more often and developers forgot to set the flag to false. In these cases metatype information is generated although it's not used - and these services are then also displayed in the configuration manager plugin of the web console which bloats the list of services. So false seems to be the better default; for compatibility we can't change the default for the tags, but for something new like the annotations we could do this.
