I would have thought so too, but then I downloaded 16,984 of the
newest sdists hosted on pypi, parsed their PKG-INFO or METADATA files,
and discovered adoption is quite low. Also, it is not Final.
'Metadata-Version: 1.0': 15384,
'Metadata-Version: 1.02': 1,
'Metadata-Version: 1.1': 1383,
'Metadata-Version: 1.2': 7,
