Github user mxm commented on the pull request: https://github.com/apache/flink/pull/593#issuecomment-146460197 +1 for removing the factory methods from ExecutionEnvironment. Most users won't even think about using this feature and be rather confused by the additional methods. Let's also keep the old constructor of the RemoteEnvironment in addition to the new one.
