And for people who do not use bash? ;)
Besides maybe Arch, Gentoo, LFS and/or Slackware, what doesn't have /etc/skel/.bashrc?
Doesn't matter if bash is included in the distro. Users are not required to use bash as their default shell.
Bash is not the default shell with the BSDs.
Slackware does not install a default /etc/skel. That is an exercise for the user. That is a big reason I continue using Slackware -- Patrick does not presume how anybody should use their computers. He provides a base operating system and let's everybody decide what they want to do.
My point was *most* users on *most* distros have a ~/.bashrc file, whether they know it or not, and whether they consciously or not do anything that may be affected by anything in it. Some environments get pretty big:
