So why do we have site-start.el and site-lisp/default.el ?
For things other than changing the user's key bindings.
The easiest way for me to ensure that all these "pseudo users"
have the same emacs setup is to use site-start.el FOR ME AND ONLY ME.
So, it's not "people" doing that -- it's "me".
You're the only one involved, in this scenario, so you're
not treating anyone else badly.
But this is a special case, and you're the one who has told me that
some sysadmins set up Emacs in a nonstandard way for _other people_.
And what exactly do you intend to change? Enabling cua-mode,
viper-mode, delete-selection-mode, pc-selection-mode, glasses-mode,
.. any minor mode?
Perhaps this should be done for whichever modes we find are often
being imposed on other users in this way.
