Plus isn't /sbin deprecated?

Iirc (very debatable :-) the end goal of the FHS is to have a read-only
/ with all executables in /bin. Okay it's going to take a looonngg time
to get there, but if I'm right hard-coding already-deprecated standards
isn't the best move.

(Again, iirc :-) sbin stood for *static* binaries needed for system
recovery, so its original purpose has long been abused ... :-)

Cheers,
