+As a piece of metadata, a buildpack should list the execution environments it supports in the `[[buildpack.exec-env]]` array. This can be used by the buildpack registry in the future.

 The spec will reserve the following values to help standardize execution environments:
 
 * production
 * test
 * development
 
+In addition, the `/` character is reserved in case we need to introduce namespacing in the future.

 ### Buildpack API
 
 A buildpack author will be able to determine the execution environment their buildpack is expected to build for by reading the `CNB_EXEC_ENV` environment variable. If this value is not set, a Buildpack Author can assume it's set to `production`. This will be provided for both `bin/detect` and `bin/build`.

 - "env" is overloaded as a word since we also use it for environment variables. Is there a better word here?
+While "env" is overloaded, it matches the intent.
 - Should there be builders that are specific to an execution environment? What about `include` or `exclude`?
+No reason right now to restrict builders to an execution environment.
 - Should the execution environments be an enum or flexible as a string?
   - enums will help encourage standardization across buildpacks and platforms.
   - strings can help account for use cases we haven't thought of yet.
+We're going to opt for a string to be flexible.
 - Should buildpacks be allowed specify allowlist execution environments?
+We're currently optimizing for app developer flexibility to use the buildpacks as they see fit.
 - What changes are needed in the buildpack registry?
+The buildpack registry will need to expand the index to support the `buildpack.toml`'s `exec-env` field.
 - Does `build.env` need to support execution environments in `builder.toml`?
 - Should the reserved exec env strings be namespaced?
+We're going to reserve the `/` character for namespacing if needed in the future.
 - Instead of creating a new label, should we stash it into a JSON label?
+The current JSON blobs are exports of lifecycle files, so we're going to create a new one for now.
