I suppose something went wrong then. Philippe has released this file, so I 
haven't seen the indexer report. Nor PAUSE lets me reindex it :( Philippe, 
could you try to force re-indexing of RC1 via pause and see why it doesn't 
pick META.yaml?

Thanks for doing the research, Randy. That probably means that 'no_index' 
is implemented by PAUSE, but 'private' (which should do the same thing) 
and that's the key that was agreed on when discussing on p5p wasn't. So 
it's probably the best to adjust mp2 to use this key (no_index) and then 
next A-T release will fix the problem, and mp2-RC2 will not recreate it.
