Though prefixing for the new config system would be great. We do have support for SOME env vars, but I think they're all hard-coded. Good point though that we'll need to support those, maybe a deprecated env var mapping system with warning lie "`DB_NAME` is getting deprecated, please user SUPERSET__METADATA_DB_NAME" or something like that -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
