Why? We explicitly added this feature just a year ago, so we would have a system-wide .bashrc. The idea was that we can update our arch-defaults while a user-specific configuration stays in place. This was the sanest possibility in my eyes.
Mainly because every other distro except Suse does not use this and so many people would adjust /etc/bash.bashrc anyway. As that was not a backup file, these changes would get overridden each update. Also, I really would not want my system-wide bashrc updated at the whim of my distribution packager. I would find it much better to manually merge the file. Allan
