Yes, and the META.yml consumers which supported the old way will need to
check the spec version and look for a requires => {perl...} if it is
old spec.
Build.PL can't change though. (Unless I can think of a way to
auto-generate a Build.PL for compatibility with stale M::B's.)
And, running Build.PL should still give the same output, right? (unless
CPAN.pm is going to self-upgrade.)
