Yes, that's a fair point.

The plan is to update our client to use METADATA instead of
ANNOTATEMORE, while keeping support for both in the server. After this
we deprecate ANNOTATEMORE to signal customers that they should upgrade
their clients. This deprecation should happen mostly likely within two
years, and in the next years we will be removing it completely from the
server.

Kind regards,
