When clicking on "More info" they are redirected to https://code.visualstudio.com/updates/v1_36#_launch-terminals-with-clean-environments.

However, it turns out that setting inheritEnv to false may impact other extensions, for example the vscode-remote one.

It would be helpful if the Python docs had a few lines explaining what inheritEnv does with regards to Python envs, along with a note that it may or may not conflict with other extensions (and after that we should update our "More info" link to point to this section instead of VS Code's release notes).

Thank you :)
