vim version info and order of processed config files

The order of processing the config files seems to be odd, as /usr/local/share/vim/vim82/defaults.vim overrides /usr/local/etc/vim/vimrc .

In practice, setting "mouse=r" in /usr/local/etc/vimrc doesn't have any effect, as the mouse option gets overriden in the defaults file.

This problem probably lead to the unanswered question at https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/global-configuration-for-vim.60321/

So either the documentation is incorrect or incomplete:

       /usr/local/etc/vim/vimrc                                      
                      System wide Vim initializations.
"... which is overriden by settings in ..."

or the order should be different.
