Has anyone consider using pkgconf as a replacement for Pkg-config?

I had never heard of it until today when I noticed that Fedora 26 has
dropped Pkg-config in favor of pkgconf.
I've been using it for a while now
(https://github.com/jhuntwork/merelinux/blob/master/packages/pkgconf/PKGBUILD).
Works great!
I assume it uses the files in /usr/lib/pkgconfig without change. What
does this new program offer that the existing pkg-config does not?
For the most part, we do not use pkg-config directly. It's mostly used
in scripts e.g. configure.
It's a drop-in replacement for pkg-config, so all that is required is a
symlink from pkgconf -> pkg-config and it works as expected. The
original motivation for the package was to simplify the code and remove
some external dependencies, like glib for example, IIRC.
