I am also against adoption.
This module introduces 9 extension-stmts that represent a huge
administrative burden for
module developers without any proven value.  It is not even clear that such
specific metadata
is even applicable to all instances of the tagged data node.  IMO it is not
likely that a single
metric will apply to all instances, all all times, in any
possible deployment scenario.

There are no standard operations or mechanisms to use module tags.
They have not demonstrated any standards value so far.
