What if the full-text lacks certain keywords that are relevant for
discovery/searching? I'm not convinced the content of a document is
enough to accurately (and sustainably) describe what it is about. This
email, for instance.
That said, I'm not disagreeing that update of repository deposition has
been slow - but I'm not sure we can blame that on just the need for
metadata!
