This variable has been given the name "loader_env.disabled" as it's the primary way most people will have an MD environment. This restores the previously-default behavior of ignoring the loader(8) environment, which may be useful for vendor distributions or other scenarios where inheriting the loader environment may be considered a security issue or potentially breaking of a more locked-down environment. As the change to config(5) indicates, disabling the loader environment should not be a choice made lightly since it may provide ACPI hints and other useful things that the system can rely on to boot. An UPDATING entry has been added to mention an upgrade path for those that may have relied on the previous behavior. Discussed with: bde Relnotes: yes (maybe) |
