The one problem I have with Metadata is when doing a code refactor, it does=
 not take into account the Metadata tags. Thus, it's easier to miss changes=
 that should be made to metadata when refactoring. That's to say if the Met=
adata is more complex than things like a simple [Inject] tag. This was one =
of the drawbacks I had when using Parsley, although I really enjoyed what P=
arsley did for me.
