Yes, I would recommend this too. A jarfile is not just a compressed bundle of files; it is an application or a library. Yes, the sun jar specification says that META-INF is optional, but why would you ever want to leave it out for an app or a library?
IMO, a compressed bundle of files without any metadata should be a .zip, not a .jar.
