appropriate to bump? "key/value 2.0" was never a thing.
I don't like switching to 3.0, unless we really have to.
It looks odd from the outside.
like we're switching gears again in some major way

btw, what is in wheel's "2.0" METADATA file that is 2.0? and what's using
it?

can't bdist_wheel at least stop setting metadata to 2.0 from here on?
