Traceroute is a diagnostic command. As such it isn't general use.
When a user or administrator is using it it is because of unusual
conditions. My opinion is to leave it in /usr/sbin. Let them type
a few extra characters, or add the sbin directories to their path.
The same can be said of ping, but ping existed before the bin/sbin
split. As such there is legacy code that expects it to be there.
If one really wants it in the general users path, then run a symbolic
link back to the original from the appropriate bin directory.
