I'm not sure adding a chef version to the metadata is necessary/required.

number on each cookbook when any Chef version is released.
But good to know that cookbook version numbers and Chef version
numbers are independent.
Best wishes.
PS Matt, enjoyed your Zenoss webcast, its serving as a
example/prototype for reusable Cucumber-steps - unless you are aware
of another demo/tutorial that is more complete in exercising Chef?
