Hello,

A word on the use case: on clusters at work and in other research
institutes, having a system-wide default channel file allows newcomers
to get started right away, without having to look for the =E2=80=98channels=
.scm=E2=80=99
file that their colleagues happen to be using.

Nothing revolutionary, but it can be convenient.  :-)
