Good point, although I don't think that everything in section 8 has to be in /sbin. findmnt, lsblk and lslocks have been originally designed as administrator's tools so we have selected section 8, but now it's pretty usable for non-root users and the tools are commonly used, so maybe move it to the section 1 makes sense. I don't have any strong opinion about it, if you want to move the man pages to the section 1 then send a patch. The paths should be unchanged.
