I thought we agreed in Burlington that the charm can declare the
series in the metadata.yaml
    series: trusty

A list of series was rejected I recall. There was a plan to change
charm store ingestion to read the metadata.yaml. Maybe this fell apart
because without support for a list of series/oses, you cannot have one
charm supporting more than one series.
