--- Comment #4 from Graham Perrin <grahamperrin@gmail.com> ---
Thank you! 

I should have thought of /.cshrc (subscription to
<https://reviews.freebsd.org/D45382>, plus I manually removed /.cshrc.pkgsave
from one of my test VMs before making this report). 

/etc/csh.cshrc and 
/etc/profile   are already good, customisations do survive an upgrade.

/usr/share/skel/dot.cshrc   and 
/usr/share/skel/dot.profile lose customisation, I treat these as out of scope
because there's no etc/ context.

Re: comment 0 I have a question, which I'll not raise in Bugzilla or via email;
I might ping you in Mastodon.
