Isn't there something called FHS and which would be the thing to change first? Or aren't we sticking to the FHS anyway or just don't care? I'm probably a bit old school here, but I think that the distinction between bin and sbin still makes sense. Maybe some binaries are misplaced (for instance, if ifconfig makes sense to be used as normal user, then it should be moved to /bin) but is that a reason to throw the baby out with the bathwater? And, if we keep /*/bin and /*/sbin separated, then it makes sense to NOT have /*/sbin in the normal users' PATH. TBH, I'm not entirely sure that taking Fedora as example here is the best option, but I might be biased....:) <troll>We could also put everything in the same directory, call it /windows and include it in the default PATH.</troll>
