Not exactly. Some years ago (quite some time before you joined us I suppose)
there was talk to add /etc/environment to policy. Apparently I just noticed
this still hasn't made it in so I was expecting to much I guess.

Once again this is NOT a little detail, that is in my opinion, because it
should already have made it into policy.

Hmm, seems I offended you somehow. Sorry for that.
I'm just used to a different way of handling questions. IMO the answer "read

offensive. It's not meant that way.
