A Fedora 45 change proposal to centralize per-user environment variable management under systemd's environment-generator was rejected by FESCo with six votes against. The proposal aimed to fix inconsistent PATH setup across alternative shells like Fish, Nushell, and Xonsh by using a single drop-in config in /etc/skel/.config/environment.d/ instead of shell-specific RC files. The main objection was that the proposal failed to account for systemd-less environments such as containers running Fedora-based images. FESCo left the door open for resubmission once those gaps are addressed and concrete configuration examples are provided.
