which, among other things, proposes that "/usr/sbin can be moved also to
/usr/bin."

Agreed---for one thing, there are 758 executables in my */sbin
directories, so it makes it harder to find the non-system commands (e.g.
when doing command-line completion), which is probably the common case.

For another thing, some system commands in */sbin could have undesired
side effects when used inadvertently, so I think it's a good idea to
keep them off the default PATH.
