Some fonts exported from older version of glyphs in UFO format use @MMK_L_X/@MMK_R_X kern group naming. Conversion from this naming scheme to public.kern1.X/public.kern2.X is provided by norad, but only runs when groups and kerning are loaded together.

This patch first loads the metadata.plist to check if we're on an older version of UFO, and if we are it loads groups as well as kerning, so that the up-conversion code runs.
