That sounds reasonable. In fact, I would like to see something that
allows META.yml to require compatibility with a given version of the
META.yml spec.
Taking 'test_requires:' as an example, note that any older installer
will not be looking at that key and the tests will fail, so one would
have to list those prereqs in 'requires:' for backward compatibility,
but then that muddles the desired distinction.
