Migration steps are:
1. virtual/pkgconfig fork and edit ebuild to set dev-util/pkgconf as default
2. dev-util/pkgconf fork, set pkg-conf flag on, to keep the compatibility
3. test stage3 builds
4. mark ebuild as stable
Above steps performed and tested locally.

This sounds like a good thing to do. I would like to get pkgconf integrated especially if it is 100% compatible.

Right now our experimental branch is not being merged ( experimental = current? ) so I don't think your changes will hit the tree. Might be a good time to unsync experimental, though.

Experimental tree is working, should be fine.

Applied to current/stable. There will be auto-uninstall of dev-util/pkgconfig, normal behaviour.

OK, so this is integrated into current/stable, but is not yet being used by default. Was this the original intent of the bug, to migrate to it?

It will be set automatically and used by default after emerge.

OK, that sounds good. So this will allow users to begin playing with it on their systems. What do you think about starting another story about making this the default in Funtoo Linux?

OK, in talking to Oleg, pkgconf is now the default. It has been extensively tested by Gentoo with no issues, and will install in compatibility mode, and will be pulled in by emerge via virtual rather than pkgconfig. So Funtoo is now fully transitioned over to pkgconf. Is this a correct assessment?
