<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HP Simplified","sans-serif"">There are a number of reviews[1][2] where new environment variables are being disliked, leading to -1 or -2 code reviews because new environment variables are added. It is looking
like this is becoming a policy.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"HP Simplified","sans-serif"">If this is a policy, then could that be stated, and an alternate mechanism made available so that any reviews adding environment variables can use the replacement mechanism, please?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
