Not really... metadata is a generic, meaningless word.
We're talking about setup metadata, so I think [setup] makes more sense. 
I think the parallels with setup.py and setup.cfg are also better for 
discoverability...

I missed the thread on this... Why is it needed? I generally hate the 
idea of having a .in file for a .cfg file. It's a sign that the .cfg 
fiel is being used incorrectly...
