The behaviour cannot solidify further. :-) It's clear, determinate,
predictable, and simple to document.
I thought RCn+1 was meant to be minimal differences from RCn? That's
why Andy Bradford's POP3 patch is post 1.8. Switching the behaviour of
a set-but-empty HOME now seems significant given some value for HOME
must be chosen. And will mean another round of testing by others on top
of your time.

I've covered that in my reply to kre just now.
