That's actually not true. What you lose, is the benefit of not having
the current VM tied to the environment. Specifically, if you don't have
a user VM set... JAVA_HOME would point at the system VM... but if at
some point, you set a user VM, JAVA_HOME would still point to the system
VM until you source whichever file you add that snippet to.
It is extremely important to note that if you decide to use the snippet
for root, then java-config-1 has no way of knowing what the generation-1
VM is, because it uses JAVA_HOME to determine this.
