Core metadata specifications
============================

The current core metadata file format, version 2.1, is specified in :pep:`566`.

Old PEP removed but no mention of a new PEP 643? Is this intentional?

Yes, because PEP 643 does not specify the whole format, just the addition. I didn't think it made sense to say "Version 2.1 was specified in 566, which also made this document canonical, then 643 updated it to 2.2" with the result that the paragraph becomes an extended audit trail of all the PEPs that change the spec.

IMO, the whole point of making this document canonical is that we don't need to link back to the PEPs. 2.1 linking back to 566 was OK, as that was the version that changed the canonical source of the spec. But now we've moved to the next version, I think it's time to drop the (essentially historical, now) note.
