Follow-up Comment #2, bug #30474 (project gnustep): In base I use a rule of a complete release cycle (excluding bugfix releases). ie if something is deprecated in one release, it has to continue to exist until the next release. Since we actually tend to do non-bugfix releases about once a year,

Follow-up Comment #8, bug #30470 (project gnustep): By the way, to clarify, the issue has nothing to do with old or new variables (Richard was right in creating a separate issue for that). ;-) For example, Derek's LD_LIBRARY_PATH is set to: LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/home/derek/GS/Library/Libraries:/GS/L

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #30474 (project gnustep): We generally wait 5 years. The variables don't actually cause any harm - the 'GNUSTEP' prefix makes sure they don't interfere with anything. So I guess I'd wait another couple of years. ;-) Thanks
