QGIS needs a fixed location where to look for the classFactory(), so 
__init__.py is the most obvious solution. Otherwise we would need to require 
other py file with a fixed name, what wouldn't change much.

Exactly, __init__.py shouldn't duplicate any data from metadata.txt, so 
usually may contain just classFactory() only.
