I didn't seem to find the logic to dump metadata. Is it automated?

It's here

azure-cli-dev-tools/azdev/operations/extensions/__init__.py

Lines 242 to 244 in cb03498

	# update index and write back to file
	with open(os.path.join(index_path), 'w') as outfile:
	outfile.write(json.dumps(curr_index, indent=4, sort_keys=True))

I use the returned value of pkginfo instead of the the old formate of metadata.json from wheel==0.30.0, for instance:

Just to confirm, this will require new extension packages to have a minimum core version of 2.5.0+?
