On fedora 26 server, /etc/skel/.bashrc is:
# .bashrc
# Source global definitions
if [ -f /etc/bashrc ]; then
. /etc/bashrc
fi
# Uncomment the following line if you don't like systemctl's auto-paging
feature:
# export SYSTEMD_PAGER=
# User specific aliases and functions
I take the last line as a hint that users should add stuff to the end of
the file. If I put alias ls="ls -lh" after the last line, it is respected
in new shells.
