--- Comment #5 from Lexi Winter <[email protected]> ---
that is wrong and this is a valid PR.

/.login and /.profile are no longer installed by the base system.

/root/.login, /root/.profile etc. are installed as configuration files and user
customisation will be preserved.

this has nothing to do with the original PR, which is caused by /root not being
a separate filesystem in the default ZFS configuration.  therefore, switching
BEs will give you a different copy of /root.
