<div dir="auto">Should wheel change to emit 1.3, or should the
PEP change to become 2.0? I know there were great hopes for
"metadata 2.0", but given that there are bazillions of
packages out there with a metadata version of 2.0, we're never
going to be able to meaningfully use that version number for
anything else, and it's confusing if when reading package
metadata the ordering is 1.2 < 2.0 == 1.3 < 1.4. So
maybe we should declare that this update is 2.0 or 2.1, the
next one will be 2.1 or 2.2, etc., and if anyone asks why the
major version bump, well, it's hardly the strangest thing
we've done for compatibility :-). (And in the unlikely event
that PEP 426 lurches back to life, we can make it 3.0.)</div>
