[Fedora-packaging] pkgconfig as BuildRequires really needed?

[Parag N(पराग़)]

Hi,
   I see minimal build environment always pulling pkgconfig and also
we have " There is no need to include the following packages or their
dependencies as BuildRequires because they would occur too often."
written in packaging guidelines[1]. Does this mean I can recommend in
new package reviews or existing package owners to drop BuildRequires:
pkgconfig in spec files?

Parag.
