Reporting bug is not really futile, but also take into account that there
were some other bug reports where the reverse behavior was asked (e.g.
TERMCOLOR was requested to be kept).

The current plan to fix this is a configuration similar to the sudo's one
where users can specify the behavior they want (i.e. the environment
variables they want to keep)
