For example Fedora uses /etc/profile where is:

for i in /etc/profile.d/*.sh ; do
    if [ -r "$i" ]; then
        if [ "${-#*i}" != "$-" ]; then 
            . "$i"
        else
            . "$i" >/dev/null
        fi
    fi
done


and in the /etc/profile.d/ directory are many scripts, for example
/etc/profile.d/colorls.sh with --color=auto alias for ls(1).

It's pretty common that people and packages add/modify the stuff in 
the /etc/profile.d/ directory.

IMHO it's elegant way how to maintain global configuration for shells.

The files like ~/.bash_profile are users' playground and I don't think
that good admin touches these ~/ files.
