The logic for whether the .vimrc file is used is quite complicated.
That's why we can't make this decision before loading a system vimrc.
I think it's easier to suggest unletting skip_defaults_vim always:
This should work well for new Vim users. If you create your own .vimrc, it is
recommended to add this line somewhere near the top: >
unlet! skip_defaults_vim
source $VIMRUNTIME/defaults.vim
