You mean two or more configuration files are effective simultaneously?
If so, it is not upward compatible. It confuses the present users.
Isn't this enough?
$ cp $HOME/.globalrc gtags.conf
$ vi gtags.conf
or
$ echo myproj >gtags.label
[$HOME/.globalrc]
+---------------------------------
|myproj:\
| :tc=native:tc=drupal:
Incompatible changes are difficult for users to accept.
How about thinking it after introduction of project basis gtags.conf?

I don't understand what you are saying. Which meaning is it?
o We should stop support of GTAGSLABEL.
o We should ignore GTAGSLABEL only when project basis gtags.conf is used.

Why is it?

The 'gtags.files' is the same way as 'cscope.files' of cscope command.
Since it is familiar for many users, they can utilize their own know-how.
It is a gloomy thing to study about different specification method
for every tools.

It is reverse rather. Those who need only 'gtags.files' need not know about
'gtags.conf'.
