i'd say never. there is no benefit in switching. pkg-config is the default
implementation from freedesktop.org.
pkg-config is now lighter and has less dependencies than before as the
switch from bundled glib1 to glib2 allowed dropping of the popt library.
As a data point: pkgconfig and glib:2 are built during stage3 and
removed during --depclean. Switching to pkgconf avoids glib:2 entirely
and saves some stage3 building time.
so it's really an non-issue.
and if someone finds this really an important issue:
catalyst could be fixed to enable USE=internal-glib during stage
building, heck, I think we could wrap that functionality to USE=build ?
