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.
