One design that comes to mind is how distro populate their default environment. Instead of shoving everything in a single file there is a top file that source the content of a directory. Depending on your distro it could be in /etc/env.d or /etc/profile.d. So individual package can put particular settings for their package in this folder and the next time you run you have an updated environment.
It probably would serve sage well but it is a redesign and it may hurt a bit at first. Especially while the work is in progress.
