I know you (Andrey) have gotten a lot of flak about the changes
to getenv/putenv, and I do think the changes to those routines
could have been phased in a better way than they were.

But I expect the fixes to *other* programs (such as usr.bin/env)
could be committed without causing any trouble for anyone.  If
that's true, then we might as well leave those changes in.
