I didn't say that required dynamic metadata (wheel metadata is already
static). I just said that it works fine currently, and that it becomes
an open question with the move towards static metadata in both source
and binary releases, because we have to answer questions like "what
information beyond just package/version makes up a complete node in a
dependency graph."
