We are discussing about always sourcing /etc/bashrc for interactive mode in bug 
1193590 [1]. Currently /etc/bashrc is sourced by user's bashrc script and if a 
user forgets to source it, some of the default configurations will not be set 
(for e.g. see bug 1390780 [2]). I am pondering over the idea to source 
/etc/bashrc by default (see commmit at [3]) and fix current /etc/bashrc script 
to avoid double sourcing [4]. This change may cause undesirable effects if a 
custom /etc/bashrc is prone to double sourcing and might break some systems. 
Any comments about this change are welcome.
