The loader would still work with "DIST_NAME.egg-info" directories for compatibility with existing format in the query APIs, but the Distutils install command would rather create "DIST_NAME.metadata"
Note that this would then break setuptools without adding any benefit; ".metadata" is less precise and less unique than '.egg-info'. If you want a clearer name, '.pydist' or some such would at least be reasonably specific. (It'd still have a backward compatibility problem, but at least then there'd be some benefit to the name change.)
