Indeed. However, why cannot we do the right thing soon ?

It is very interesting if Simon's patches will flow into mainline soon -
as feeling, I see some comments by Wolfgang, but no evident signal that
they will be stopped. Octavio, I will wait for your patches for a while
and if Simon's patches will be accepted soon, I will kindly ask you to
reformat your patches, moving the default environment into an .env file.

Best regards,
Stefano Babic
