  * So I'm leaning towards focusing on module metadata for now, knowing that the wider package management will either refer to this file or embed the same data in the future.

+1.

Looks like there is not much difference between library manifest and module metadata currently. So I think it should not be much harm in threat it as a library manifest v0, we can always ignore fields later if we decide otherwise.

I think your examples make me think it would be premature to go in that direction.

There are some folks discussing overall package management, and while I wholeheartedly agree this is a direction we should go, I don't think we should block modules on that.
