Deprecating and shutting down pkg-config?

[Tollef Fog Heen]

Hi folks,

pkg-config is very much in maintenance mode, and a pretty low one at
that.  There are some alternative implementations such as pkgconf that
are more actively maintained and that has replaced pkg-config in both
Debian and Fedora and presumably other distributions as well.

Is it time to declare pkg-config dead, point at pkgconf as the successor
and move on?  Any reasons not to?

Regards,
