Just to make sure there is no misunderstanding. The above is _not_ a rhetorical question that implies that I _think_ the patch should instead change the existing "MYMETA.yml" to "MYMETA.*" without adding a new entry to ignore "MYMETA.json". It is a pure question, and a valid answer could be "I checked with Perl people and they promise they won't be adding any more MYMETA.foo left and right with new MakeMaker releases", in which case the original patch is absolutely the right thing to do.
