I plan to reject PEP 390, since that feature won't be added to the stdlib. The reason we will need at least a minimal replacement for it is so that there's a standard place to define and retrieve the archiver hook that creates the sdist (and hence pymeta.json) from a source tarball or VCS checkout (as well as determine the necessary dependencies for that step).
My reason for wanting to flesh out a more comprehensive pymeta.cfg spec, though, is as a sanity check on the proposed PEP 426 metadata. If I can't come up with a clean multi-file input format, then I will be highly suspicious of the underlying data model. Cheers, Nick.
