Thanks for the input, but I like the way we have it now better. As far
as sourcing /etc/bashrc goes, we do that in ~/.bashrc. If a user does
not want to use it then its their distro.
On the other hand, I've been thinking about enabling use of
/etc/bash.bashrc to automatically source that file without it being
sourced in ~/.bashrc.
Given that we explicitly make the sourcing of the "system wide" file
a "user choice", and document that choice, then altering the package
defaults, so as to take away that choice, by hard-coding somethng
doesn't "feel right".
Right now I'm leaning against setting up /etc/bash.bashrc by default,
but it doesn't take away a choice. If the file is missing, then having
bash look for it and not finding it does nothing.
