Hi Dan. This sounds good to me. But do we have any idea how many .info files are still using this deprecated style? One of the problems in recent months has been with maintainers who are no longer with us... A change like this will eventually require a "cleanup" by some person or group who goes through all existing .info files, so I'm just curious about the magnitude of that task.
