All I could find is OE TSC minutes from 7 May 2013 referring to some related 
list discussion:

https://lists.openembedded.org/g/tsc/message/369?p=,,,20,0,0,0::Created,,PACKAGECONFIG,20,2,0,72188707

(9:47:21 AM) RP: bluelightning: I think this was to PACKAGECONFIG more recipes
(9:47:28 AM) bluelightning: ah ok
(9:47:36 AM) RP: bluelightning: remove the need to bbappend, have
people set mode config options
(9:47:51 AM) bluelightning: and PACKAGECONFIG to enable deps on things
outside OE-Core as well presumably
(9:48:01 AM) bluelightning: (as discussed on the ml a few weeks ago)
(9:48:06 AM) fray: yup

I spent last couple hours digging through my archives of openembedded-core and 
openembedded-devel lists around that time (Spring 2013), but besides general 
move to enable PACKAGECONFIG in recipes, I didn't see anything specific about 
crossing layer boundaries by PACKAGECONFIG dependencies, unfortunately. And it 
was a wild time - all the energy, extra activity, conflicts, flamewars - that 
definitely brought up some memories re-reading those discussions again... :)


BTW, all the links on this page are now dead, since they point to the old 
mailman/pipermail archives:

Michael,

Is there any way to correct the links in bulk or preserve the old archives, so 
the old links would still work?
