Wheel is a little different because once it's installed it is no longer a wheel, but it makes a decent example. That's not even repetition, it's just longer tag names. Repetition is having one Classifier: line for every trove classifier.
It would be quite inconvenient to change the parser for PKG-INFO. It's a win to keep the file flat.
Cool, it's the namespace I care about. Every piece of extended metadata must have an authority who gets to define what it means. If that means people register a "virtual" PyPI project just to reserve an extension namespace, I'm fine with that.
Cheers, Nick.
