Well I believe your patch only enabled that option by default so most
users I suspect write them separately up until now, does the new
offsets affect existing env variables at all?

Ultimately I would prefer to not actively break existing users if
they're not aware of changes, and that is hard to communicate. People
with broken devices tend to scream a lot.
