--- Comment #4 from Ross Kirsling <ross.kirsling at sony.com> ---
This approach arose in https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=192405#c11 as a way to try to avoid some of the hard-to-repro bugs prevalent in GLib and such described here: https://blogs.gnome.org/mcatanzaro/2018/02/28/on-setenv-and-explosions/

Sorry if my word choice has added any confusion -- the basic concept is that we can't hope to prevent getenv from being littered anywhere and everywhere, so the best we can do is be aggressive in restricting where [un]setenv is used.
