P.S. +lots on using 'metadata' in the PEP 376 method names rather than the jargon 'egginfo'. Jargon isn't always bad, but using it seems fairly gratuitous in this case.
Ditto from here. Plus I have an aversion to terminology that goes down the reptile route instead of the Monty Python route.
If it turns out that we use PEP 302-like loaders, I am also suggesting that the default metadata directory name used in Distutils is changed to "DIST_NAME.metadata". The loader would still work with "DIST_NAME.egg-info" directories for compatibility with existing format in the query APIs, but the Distutils install command would rather create "DIST_NAME.metadata"
