Can you explain exactly how you think that third party code could be 
impacted by this.  These variables are NOT set by default unless a user 
explicitly chooses to set them.   Even third party code that adds 
entries to end user crontab's isn't likely to be impacted by this as I 
see it unless the user has explicitly added these new variables before 
the third party code updates the users crontab file or they do so 
afterwards.
