True, and I haven't claimed the opposite. You need to slow down, IMO,
as it seems you've misunderstood me completely. It's really just that
whereas some packagers have removed /usr/bin/env from their packages,
others have refused to do that, and neither the Review Guidelines nor
the Packaging Guidelines contain anything about removing /usr/bin/env.
In various reviews that would make it more difficult to convince package
submitters, and some would argue endlessly about wanting to keep /usr/bin/env.
