I am in favor of simplifying the binding of useful metadata to our genome-wide objects. Before we automate this I think we should define a widely applicable procedure for this task ... and see how it works in examples from the ExperimentData library and ExperimentHub. Using fData for ExpressionSet and rowData for SummarizedExperiment and rowRanges for RangedSummarizedExperiment might also be susceptible of simplification. fAnno?
