I have a concern about using environment variables to hold secret 
information, and an opinion about it.  

IF

DEBUG is enabled, and there is a 500 server internal error, and the default 
500 template is used to render the response, 


THEN

*all of your secret information is shown in the browser output*


Of course, DEBUG should never be enabled in production.  But a single human 
error might make it happen. 

I would prefer to trust Github security and long passwords than to think I 
am infallible about setting DEBUG. 

Note that this is certainly what happens when I run on a Vagrant VM, and I 
think it would be the same in a Docker-like container.
