[gentoo-dev] Why isn't /root/.bash_profile in the stage tarballs?

[John R. Graham]

On the forums, I've seen the question, "Why isn't my .bashrc being
executed when I log in as root but is being executed when I log in as a
normal user?," asked half a dozen times on the forums. Heck, I even
asked it myself a few years ago. Now, two years later, from a slightly
more mature level of domain knowledge, I have to ask why the root cause
shouldn't be addressed. Why can't the simple little default
.bash_profile from /etc/skel be put into /root as well?
