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.
