The two options have incompatible behaviour and it wasn't clear that either have a good maintenance path last time we looked. Most software is aligned with the version we have which is the standard. pkg-config is relatively stable, it doesn't change much and that is a good thing due to the way it is used. The question is whether the "lack of maintenance" is causing us a problem, I'm not sure it is. I suspect we're better focusing on other areas. Cheers, Richard
