Comment(by ncohen):

 Hellooooooooooo !!

 This problem has already been reported in #12091. Besides, there is *no
 reason on earth why Sage should change lower bounds because of
 constraints*. This would be *VERY* bad. I mean, which kind of behaviour is
 that ? If you add two constraints, one loser than the first, the solver
 should only remember the losest one ? Or only when it is "one variable"
 and "its lower bound" ?

 The thing about constraints is that they are generated from a specific
 problem. If for some unknown reason the constraints generated are of the
 form "b[i] >= -2" the LP would now let b[i] have negative values, and
 that's just NOT what was intended.

 Plus it's not really like this is some specificity of Sage. ALL (no
 exceptions) LP solvers work this way.
