I somewhat disaggree. Some aliases like 'll' are used on many, many
different UNIX flavors and also mentioned in a lot of books, I suppose.
Users might expect this to be there. And if someone really does not want
the 'll' alias, he is always free to unalias it, isn't he? I'd also think
that /etc/skel should be nearly completely empty. Everything should go into
systemwide configuration files, as long as the user is able to override and
disable it, as it is the case with aliases. The same also applies for
things like PATH, EDITOR, etc.pp.. They should be setup with 'decent'
(whatever that is) values.
Note though, that I say this, because the user *IS* able to disable the
setting and/or modify it at will.
