Description: is the only multi-line field in the metadata. It is almost never needed at runtime. It would be great for performance and simplify the parser to just put it in another file. License also can be multiline I believe,
OK. In practice, Description: is the only field that is likely to be hundreds of lines long which seems wasteful. The parser complexity is a non-issue. (I know the PEP says Description: should not be the instruction manual, but it is wrong because that is the way to get useful data up on a package's pypi page.)
