I verified it with r36787. There haven't been any changes to the script
for a while. E.g. type "dd if=/d" and hit tab: Doesn't work. Remove or
rename `/etc/bash_completion` and retry in a fresh shell: Does work.

would hate to see it removed.
Don't confuse bash's built-in completion of command and path names with
the `bash_completion` script. The latter tries to add command specific
completions and in several cases just makes things work worse. I've never
used the features it adds (e.g. completion of options), so I'm probably
biased. Given that e.g. OpenSuse doesn't have it enabled by default
either, I don't seem to be the only one unhappy with it.
