RE: [aspectj-users] Philosophical Questions

How is that different from metadata in an external file
going out-of-sync in this same scenario?

To me this seems to be a problem in *ANY* weaving tool.

Not with tags though, but I fail to see how that is AOP
because the tags themselves are still a cross-cutting
concern simply by their existence all over the place.

For example, if the developer renames or refactors their methods, the 
pointcuts will no longer find them.

And if the concerns are well separated, the developer might not even be 
aware that a certain pointcut is being applied to the method they are 
modifying, and they will therefore not even have the option to update 
the pointcut definition.
