Agreed.  (In fact, sort of by definition there's nothing new in 3.1.x
that we can't alter, but in practice I suppose anything pre-3.1.4 is
pretty much locked in.)

Semantically, that would do it for me.  However, I wonder if it's going
to cause any problems ... I don't imagine anyone sets NO_RCS just to
turn off the logout files, but it's possible.

Maybe the right thing is a new flag that could be set in ~/.zshenv to
disable only the (remaining) global files.  The sysadmin still gets
his shot in /etc/zshenv, and thereafter it's simple for the user to
get back control and keep it.
