reading environment variables from .env file in babel-preset-react-app

[GnsP]

In reference to Issue #2377 [closed].

babel-preset-react-app requires that NODE_ENV or BABEL_ENV be set to "development" | "test" | "production". Prefer loading contents of .env file, if present, to process.env before the check is done.

I think it's unexpected that a package looks at your .env files and populates process.env; this should be handled by your application if you're working in a non-CRA application.

Thanks!
