good, but only if you want the change for every user. You must not
modify it
for your own convenience.

And you will need to change every scripts !!
What about the ENV file ?
in the ~/.profile or ~/.bash-profile (I usually make a link)
ENV=$HOME/.bashrc
export ENV

and what you want in the $ENV. It will be executed at every call of bash
before
to execute anything else. You can put there everything that is not
exported.

bash -login is mainly usefull to reset your environnement as in
exec bash -login
