Oh, I see. With duck-typing and ABCs, I don’t make a difference between
protocols and interfaces in my head :) Also, the I in API does mean
interface, but not imply bondage-and-discipline interface systems.

The dist-info directory introduced by PEP 376 will certainly be reused.
Not sure if Tarek will want to edit PEP 376 (already accepted) to add
plugins in metadata (provides-dist is in metadata, so having plugins
here can make sense), or start a new PEP about a new concept in a new file.
