If /bin links to /usr/bin, and /usr/bin is in the PATH by default; why include
/bin?
I'm assuming that the PATH is searched right to left (as later declarations
over-write previous declarations), which would mean there is a small to zero
performance reduction. If not; there is performance to be found.
The PATH is actually searched left to right, so there is hardly any performance
gain by
dropping /bin.
Moreover, weird things may happen when we change the PATH:

We might reconsider after the release of trixie, but for now this is a wontfix.
Thanks.
