Please note that policy says:

   A program must not depend on environment variables to get reasonable
   defaults.

The way I read this, whatever "good" defaults you think should be in
/etc/profile, should be instead coded in the shells themselves
as a default when no PS1 is set at all.

Please think about a way to follow policy which does not involve
making /etc/profile larger and larger. That's the wrong way.

The right fix for this "bug" might involve removing lines from the
current /etc/profile, and that's the only reason why I'm going to keep
it open.
