I think that setting PROMPT_COMMAND as an array in the default configuration would be the place to start. Then packages which enable such functionality can be added with more granularity. If the desktop working group wants to default to having such a configuration enabled, it can be done without affecting the server images, etc. And folks can easily opt-out even on the desktop. (I'd still prefer if it was opt-in for the desktop, but that's just an opinion.) That makes it easier to add snippets to /etc/profile.d rather than coordinating everything via the setup package. Hard-coding a default for everyone which leaves a good number of folks unhappy in either case is not ideal. -- Todd
