But, hasn't anyone realized that bash is _broken_ if this file doesn't
exist? Quoting from the upstream-provided man page, "When an
interactive shell that is not a login shell is started, bash reads and
executes commands from ~/.bashrc, if that file exists." Is that really
the intention here? To break upstream-defined behavior?
First, please don't top-post. Second, you have an odd definition of "broken".
You seem to have complete glossed over the last part of the sentence that you
pasted: "if that file exists". Bash will *not* freak out and rape your dog if
the file doesn't exist. All it means is that you get nothing more in your env
than what's defined by /etc/profile.
