Hi,
The bug#20255 [#] is the oldest patch, still there even if almost is
done. Let enjoy this patch squash day on Dec. the 18th [0] to close
it. ;-)
Below the summary I wrote couple of months ago. And the Alex’s answer:
As for me, I am OK with any default setting as long as there is a way to
change it. I recall Ludovic proposed a patch that allowed to customize
"/etc/profile" and I was happy about it, but he changed his mind on that
patch so it was never committed.
Let’s tackle it! :-)
