afaik, all existing distributions will be Metadata-version:1.0 (or 1.1) ,
so 1.3 logic won't apply, right?
for <1.3, the correct assumption would be "legacy" or "pkg_resources"
py3.3 distutils has logic like this:
version = '1.0'
if (self.provides or self.requires or self.obsoletes or
self.classifiers or self.download_url):
version = '1.1'
Metadata-version is not a user choice.
the only thing I know of writing 1.3 metadata now is "bdist_wheel" for
building wheels.
