I like the name change on the function as well.

This call was used in less places than I thought (I guess that's part of
why you're making it more public/central), so my worry about having some
large scale change was for nothing.

As for Taylor's comment about the CONFIG_DATA_ENVIRONMENT variable, it
was named like that before you got here, so I am not too worried whether
or not you change it.
