There was a problem hiding this comment.
This might be a bit more complicated than this.
The issue is that the conf is available in other places, as long as it comes from profiles files.
It is the usage of conf coming from tool_requires that is expected to be limited, because those tool_requires might not be necessarily available (skipped), and their package_info() won't even execute.

This addresses comments from @memsharded in conan-io/conan#18008 about which methods are allowed to rely on the data in
ConanFile.conf.I just added a quick note, but it would be great to discuss some more helpful suggestions for people who need these configuration values elsewhere in their recipe.
