Strongly oppose. The META file is meant to tell machines about dists. This
will not be useful.
Agreed. This kind of information

No thanks. Let's work on ways to machine-readably describe more kinds

I'm in two minds about this. Such a free form field may be useful if you
consider that human-readable
