    Maybe the solution will be for tools like uv or poetry to warn if dynamic metadata is used and strongly discourage it. Then over time the users of packages that use dynamic metadata will start to urge the package authors to stop using it.

I wouldn’t bet on this one. I know a lot of python package maintainers who would likely rather kill their project than to adapt to a standard they don’t like. For example see flake8’s stance on even supporting pyproject.toml files which have been the standard for years: https://github.com/PyCQA/flake8/issues/234#issuecomment-8128...

I know because I’m the one that added pyproject.toml support to mypy 3.5 years ago. Python package developers can rival Linux kernel maintainers for resistance to change.
