What "MetadataSource" are you talking about renaming?

The problem here, imo, is the term "source".  It is ambiguous because 
it means both (1) source of metadata information (hbm files, 
annotations) and (2) the common source mapping contracts 
(org.hibernate.metamodel.spi.source).   They really are not related, 
aside from the fact that MetadataSources is the source for sources :/
