The two bash scripts are fairly content free, and .alias and .cshrc provided by tcsh are very much of the "let's do this because it's neat" flavor. I don't think that practice is consistent with policy here, and I'm not sure which should bend (both?). An empty /etc/.skel/. would be even less obvious to the new systems administrator than the current scheme of things. And, of course, it's easier for a sysadmin to rip files out of .skel than to author them...
