Let people pick which works for them -- options or env vars. For those of us that don't care for colour ls most of the time, but very occationally want it, the env varable is very anonying. CVS, diff, grep are just three examples of programs that offer the user a choice between setting functionality w/both switches and env vars. Mechanism, not policy.
