Slang is used only by perf (oe-core) and libnewt (meta-oe). Both build fine with disabled pcre option.
I’ll send a v2 with this, let’s see what AB will say.

Or find out if slang itself can be dropped. Alex On Wed 17.

After modifying my grep to "pcre" instead of "libpcre" slang suddenly appeared (luckily nothing more). Possibly I tried to do this cleanup too early, since slang doesn't support pcre2 yet. Or would it be acceptable to disable pcre package config by default?
