Yes, to me it is also clear, but I find it better to be explicit and to avoid
duplication. Now someone needs to write to some manual that CONFIG in
buildhistory
recipe metadata means PACKAGECONFIG :) But I'm happy this in mastes as is too.

Yes, but in most cases it directly influences PACKAGECONFIG in various recipes.
At least I modify PACKAGECONFIG of many recipes, sometimes through
DISTRO_FEATURES
and sometimes directly using bbappends. End results is not always clear and
I have to use 'bitbake -e' and manual inspection of installed files and features
to verify results. Recording things to buildhistory would be nice.
Buildhistory is so usefull that I feel like it should contain all data parsed by
bitbake...
