The lack of a meaningful transition plan is where I think we fell down
with PEP 345 & 386, and is also the main reason I've postponed
accepting PEP 426 (PJE and others pointed out a couple of major gaps
that either made it difficult to update pkg_resources to read the new
format, or else made it difficult to generate metadata that existing
releases of pkg_resources would understand).

Cheers,
Nick.
