Please be patient, like we all are.  It's better to wait a bit now,
then adding work now, and adding more work later to clean up the mess
again.

I agree with Stefano that we should not add more to the already
existing amount of env settings but instead wait for a cleaner way.
Please be patient - you lose nothing here.
