The user might prepare for the  installation  of  a  new  version  of
U-Boot  where the environment is in new sectors (for example, because
U-Boot has grown after adding new features - been there  before),  or
for switching from single to redundant environment, or ...

So actually the user might want to do some clever thing. Please don;t
prevent him from doing that.

Best regards,
