Absolutely no way, this is completely insane. The file /etc/profile
*must* be human readable, not a collection of clever hacks designed to
avoid touching /etc/profile as if it were read only.
Moreover, people do not change the PATH so often, so having to change
/etc/profile is not a big deal.
If you insist that this is a bug, then it will remain "unfixed".
(But I might better eventually close it so that everybody stop suggesting
obfuscating /etc/profile)
Thanks.
