Hey. I mostly forgot the details of this issue ^^

What I can say at least (which is of course not a definite answer) is, that I personally run my systems since quite some years now without touching PATH in any of .profile, .bashrc, /etc/profile, /etc/bash.bashrc. Some people want to add e.g. ~/bin to their PATH, but I think the default profile didn't do that out of the box, or did it? I personally found that (adding ~/bin/ anyway) rather unclean, as it will get inherited by all programs started by my session, but what most of the time I actually want is some additional commands or overrides for just my interactive sessions. So instead of ever adding ~/bin to the PATH, I do set up any executable in there as an alias (which won't get exported to other shells). Cheers, Chris.
