Re: /etc/profile: avoid multiple /usr/bin in PATH

Yes, but why is this a problem?  Note that bash will set it anyway if
not present.

All shells set it only when run as login-shell.

Wrong: Only bash gives it a value - ksh and dash export SHELL with no value if none present. And IMHO SHELL should not be /bin/bash by default.
