what the MANIFEST does. You now have a file that you can't stop shipping even if you remove it from the MANIFEST.
Heh, but if 'make dist' adds it to MANIFEST in any case, isn't it the same as putting it into a distro even if it's not listed in MANIFEST? No matter what you do, you end up with META.yaml shipped. I just tried that. So why changing MANIFEST?
There are things other than "make dist" which rely on the MANIFEST format and use ExtUtils::Manifest. Module::Build, for example.
But an autogenerated META.yaml is probably needed only by EU::MM and Module::Build, which create distros, since each has to generate that file, so each could include it in the dist, if it's not already listed in MANIFEST.
