Transition Plan
===============
There is a risk that a build tool will produce core metadata
conforming to version 2.3 and thus this PEP but which is consumed by a
tool that is unaware of this PEP (if that tool chooses to attempt to
read a core metadata version it does not directly support).
In such a case there is a chance that a user may specify an extra
using an non-normalized name which worked previously but which fails
now.
As such, consumers of this PEP should be prioritized more than
producers so that users can be notified that they are specifying extra
names which are not normalized (and thus may break in the future).
