'runtimepath' fiddling

[James Vega]

This has been bugging me for a while, but I kept forgetting to ask about
it.  Why do we modify 'runtimepath' in /etc/vim/vimrc?  Why not just
dictate that vim plugins will be installed into $VIM/vimfiles and
$VIM/vimfiles/after?  Of course, that would mean that
/usr/share/vim/vimfiles would need to be a directory instead of a
symlink to /etc/vim (another thing I was never sure why we did).  I see
no benefit of using $VIM/addons{,/after} over $VIM/vimfiles{,/after}.
