Not really opposed, but it does seem like a wishlist item to me.

Two comments

1) I have planned for some weeks now to tear open the config handling,
which might affect this.

2) It would make sense to define an explicit set of environment
variables preserved or reset in hook environment at the same time as
this proposed change.
