That's also not what the original bug said.
The original bug was specifically about setting environment variables for
all shells, which is contrary to the intention of Policy. If you have a
different proposal that you want to see, feel free to propose it, but it's
a little annoying to be corrected on my closure of a bug when you
apparently never even read the bug.
