Right, but we also support relative paths via environment variables. I don't think that changes the conclusion though. I'm not convinced relative paths via the environment aren't slightly insane in the first place, given the discussion in 37a95862c (alternates: re-allow relative paths from environment, 2016-11-07). And they'd probably start with "../" as well. -Peff
