Yep, but projects can control the version used by distutils and others
by deliberately not using fields new in a given metadata version.  I.e.
if you don’t have requires nor requires-dist not project-url, you’ll get
metadata 1.0; if you use setup-requires-dist you get 1.3 (from a tool
that knows about it, of course).
