As always, any call by itself doesn't seem important, It is only when you
need it and don't have it that you start swearing :) (jk)

Anyway, why? well I don't know, for example, a better install package, a
more clever debuging setup tool, RPM installation might need it, and etc.
I do not believe it is a superflous call (or env, whichever), Not like the
atari TOS which has few of them not quite necessary..
