While, in general, I support the idea that project wide configuration variables like search paths should be in configuration files, and not in rc files, I think it is essential to retain the rc mechanism for variables, like these, that affect design *export*. The reason is that different data products may require different values.

For an example of conditional configuration via the rc mechanism, see:
