True. But this can be polished with time.

That's where META.yml kicks in. I'm not sure which tag can we use though. http://module-build.sourceforge.net/META-spec.html but eventually that's what we are going to use.
Using META.yml is a good thing, but we know when this will be a standard in CPAN distributions?
Since it's now autogenerated by new versions of Module::Build and ExtUtils::MakeMaker I think you will see META.yml in most CPAN distros that are actively maintained.
In the meantime, we could be update the docs in order to encourage use of META.yml (as you suggested) or to report mp2 compatibility status in Changes file.
There is not much to update at the moment, since META.yml unfortunately doesn't understand version ranges, yet. So the existence of META.yml doesn't necessarily will mean that you will have this information that we are after.
Someone needs to push ExtUtils::MakeMaker to support PREREQ_PM ranges (Module::Build does that already) and then push META.yml spec writers to support it.
