+1 I've been frustrated by this myself, the large amounts of auxilliary data just makes decoding the META needlessly complicated. And its amplified by Dzil needlessly documenting both install-relevant and not-install-relevant data in *both* META.yml and META.json ( esp: x_Dist_Zilla ) I've even compensated by using a YAML generator filter that excludes x_* just to reduce my dist-size. And this seems even more relevant in a static-install future where all install is META driven. -- Kent KENTNL - https://metacpan.org/author/KENTNL
