What I really wanted to do was remove support for using PATH entirely. I was worried about breaking downstream users (and in this case my worry was justified). At the same time, we should not hold the open-source project back because of problems with downstream users' environments. What we should aim for is a completely hermetic environment, which will never be achievable with a dependence on PATH.
By reverting this, we are going to be stuck with a required dependency on a project that has been unmaintained for close to a decade with no path forward. That doesn't seem like the right direction.
