Yes, with a simple rule. Multiple META.yml files are allowed, only the top level one is accepted, all others are ignored.
Aha! That's a good news. Thanks Andreas.

No. I'd argue that such a cascading must be an internal matter for any distribution. The META.yml file was invented to have a single file with metadata about a given distribution.
As you can see this doesn't work well with bundling. But if this can't be changed, we will do it the hard way, duplicating the data on several levels.
