the user $PATH by default, which is not what Debian has done. I do not
think we have consensus on this and would raise an objection of my own.

/sbin not in PATH by default makes many more veteran users unhappy.

Also non veteran users, given that certain commands in /sbin just work fine when run as non-root (or actually should _not_ be run as root because they trust their input). For example:

* fatlabel
* findfs
* fsck.*
* isosize
* mkfs.*
* route
* tarcat

But aside from the $PATH question, cacin work on ensuring that there are no conflicts between /sbin and /bin is worth pursuing as these conflicts are just bugs waiting to happen.
