Subject: No mechanism for dynamically setting suggests, recommends, or develop prereqs
It currently isn't possible to set suggests, recommends, or develop prereqs dynamically. build, test, and runtime requires can be adjusted using BUILD_REQUIRES, TEST_REQUIRES, and PREREQ_PM, but the only mechanism available to set suggests etc is META_ADD or META_MERGE. However, META_ADD and META_MERGE are ignored if a META.json or META.yml file exists. So the MYMETA files will get suggests entries copied directly from the META file, without being able to adjust them.
