But on topic, I totally agree with Mike. OK, Possibly EDITOR and |
| 16 |
XSESSION are better suited to somewhere else other than rc, but atm that |
| 17 |
place doesn't exist, and imo doesn't warrant creation. |

/etc/env.d/ (when it comes to setting a default editor) just seems very odd to me. It's not easily managed from a package perspective. It can easily just throw some random behaviour. |

Of course, user specific EDITOR etc, is much better set in the |
| 22 |
appropriate ~/dotfiles. System wide, all we need is a workable default. |
