Metadata in .net is more than annotation, so there's no direct relation to what we're talking about. It's just an example. It's not like there's nothing to fix in COFF, but it's not a big deal to make it do anything you want. You simply put your metadata in your section and even stay compatible with existing tools, so new linker can add some extra safety, but it won't be required to make things work.
