The intention is to have only one standard for the egg-info, I have
explained it in this section:

http://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0376/#egg-info-becomes-a-directory

previous formats will not be supported but that won't break anything of course
since the new APIs will work only over the distribution installed with
the new version
of distutils.
