I normally stay away from those infinite discussions in replies to
commits, but IMO Tijl has a very good point here. Over the years I've
probably wasted several hours myself petting dozens of ports to install
their .pc files into libdata, and I really don't see a big benefit in
that. What's the best way to continue discussing this and perhaps change
our official policy?
