You may want things all you like, but it's not going to happen.
Metadata complete was changed in EE 6, and it's a lot less complete
than it was. The bottom line is if you use JSR 299, then the easiest
by far is to do scanning as before. Actually, I think it's the only
thing that is doable.

Right, so we should always scan and index all annotations. The actual
processing should become something optional.
