One other thing that is still vague in my mind is more control over the MC bootstrap components. Right now the bootstrap consists of loading a bootstrap.xml which must also include a Bootstrap bean that integrates with the profile service to load the profile elements. Unit tests with embedded servers is one example of where there is an interaction between the MC bootstrap and the profile service. If the test was defining the profile services via annotations, the test framework would have to load a bootstrap.xml that included a profile service Bootstrap that obtained the services from the unit test metadata.
