What about emitting a warning on upload/download for deprecated metadata and a warning on the PyPI page for the distribution? I don't know whether it's possible to implement that server side or if it would only apply to newer versions of distutils/setuptools etc. but it would give people who are still uploading sdists with this metadata a chance to make the fix in their own time rather than suddenly being unable to release updates.
