Isn't that the exact same patch as the initial patch? :)

There's a reason the env var stuff is done that way. These are criteria by
which the core decides whether a cached plugin needs to be re-scanned and
updated. This needs to be done when either the environment variable changes
(e.g. HOME), or any files or directories in the directory referenced by HOME
change. So if you just passed "HOME", then the core would recursively scan your
entire home directory on start-up to figure out if it needs to re-introspect
that plugin or not. Which isn't a good idea, obviously.
