I'm not sure I under stand what you mean about setting that are "not
functional" in an environment block.

There are some setting that don't make sense in an environment block, either
because they are global to the master or are consumed before the first agent
connects (and thus can't be affected by the environment of that argent, or
any subsequent agents).   Is that what you're referring to?

If so, the main thing we did in 2.6.x is refactor to make various settings
that are used in compilation but were being cached globally respect
environment boundaries.  This was an internal structural issue though, and
not really a problem with the settings themselves.  The settings worked, but
the code they controlled had a few bugs that made them less than useful.

Does that makes sense, or am I just confused here?
