No it’s not. It really doesn’t change anything. First, you can always opt out—the discussion was about whether it should remain opt-in, or whether it should become opt-out. Second, and more importantly: packages (“derivations”) are still built in an isolated environment that does not and will never contain /usr/bin/env. Sorry I’m not replying to your other points now, but I hope it clarifies things! Thanks, Ludo’.
