Doc Text:	.The `env` option in `virt-who` has become deprecated With this update, the `virt-who` utility no longer uses the `env` option for hypervisor detection. As a consequence, Red Hat discourages the use of `env` in your `virt-who` configurations, as the option will not have the intended effect.	Story Points:	---

Please re-evaluate based on deprecation of environment configuration.

Use of this value has been removed. The server does not consider the value for hypervisor check ins.

The candlepin server has not used this value for quite some time. There is no need to send this data from virt-who. The validation for this value is gone, and the code will inform that the value is not used.
