We allowed semi-standardised additional fields for an extended period with 1.2 
(for Provides-Extra and Description-Content-Type), but folks mostly found it 
confusingly ambiguous, so Dustin created PEP 566 to define them officially as 
Metadata 1.3.

Given that, I agree with Éric that if distutils is still setting 
"Metadata-Version: 1.1", we should stick with the old PEP 314 behaviour and 
advise folks to migrate to setuptools if they'd prefer the updated behaviour.
