Okay, there is not so particular objections,
so I'll remove all aliases and EXINIT,
and comment out other environments in
src/etc/skel/dot.* files.

It looks most NetBSD geeks rarely create new accounts, or
use own traditional dot files, but our INSTALL note says
to read afterboot(8), afterboot(8) suggests useradd(8), and
useradd(8) is the only tool available in the default destribusion,
so it would be better to maintain these dot files in src/etc/skel
as NetBSD's distribution defaults.

I also need useradd(8) as a tool to prepare a sample account
on live image builds, and the following command is easier enough
than manipulating misc tools and files:

# useradd -m -u 100 -g users -s /usr/pkg/bin/tcsh -G wheel \
  -p `pwhash !@#$%^&*` -k /your/favorite/skel username

though it doesn't support -d destdir option (as postinstall(8) does),
which is required to create makefs image tree...
