Comment:
I could believe your arguments, except I know I personally hate to have to
keep editing the startup script, especially since it just gets overwritten
every two weeks with TBB updates... But I also don't feel too strongly, so
long as proper or someone maintains a collection of these things to be
used outside of TBB to launch it.
I don't think the anonymity argument is as serious as you make it though.
The env var only alters the actual current proxy settings if we're known
to be in a TBB profile.. I'm assuming such a profile will load check in
the clear, and immediately tell you it failed to use Tor. It sort of sucks
to hit check directly, but that's also a different issue (#6546).
