I don't think that your criteria is correct. mysqld is also not exclusively
for root as you can run it on a non-privilege port, yet, it is placed in
/usr/sbin. Placing in /usr/sbin does not mean that users do not have access
to it, but that those binaries are not run by users from their command line.
