Users who enable CONFIG_ENV_WRITEABLE_LIST typically want full control over 
which environment variables are writable. The new default behavior introduced 
by your patch might not align with what all users expect or want.

Would overriding the flags using CFG_ENV_FLAGS_LIST_STATIC not work in this 
case?
