Not *sources* per-se, but they are things that the user supplies that become part of the Metadata; as opposed to simply options that are used during the process of building a Metadata (MetadataBuilder). And especially since you want to rename "sources" to "building context"; imo that makes the argument that these belong here even stronger.
