IMHO setting environment variables for "comfort" is a major PITA...
when things break after upgrading, just because someone decided to set
certain things per default that were unset before.  If things are unclear,
better improve the documentation.
It's as bad as dumping a whole zoo of preconfigured dot-files in the user's
home after setting up a user, as some systems (like Suse Lignux) do.
More confusing to the new user than it helps, imho.
