true on all counts. i had vague memories of this coming up before,
and a quick search through the archives found a thread about this back in
95. the basic issue there was the question of whether or not NO_RCS should
affect sourcing of /etc/zlogout; zoltan pointed out that by setting NO_RCS
in a user's ~/.zshenv, (s)he could avoid _all_ of the system init scripts
except for /etc/zshenv, and suggested changing the order the files were
sourced to the one you proposed. i couldn't find any responses to that,
however, so i guess the topic was just dropped. does anyone who was active
back then remember why?
