Description Michał Górny archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2016-10-30 16:32:23 UTC
Split from bug #499288. The idea is to have a variable specifying blacklist of environment variables for profiles. The variable would be stacked, and the resulting value would be used to unset environment variables that are known to break stuff, such as XDG_* or DISPLAY.

Why? Please keep a single feature to one bug, and not spread it across several ones.

Because it's different from the original request.
