Why? Most of them are tools which most ordinary users will never need
nor will they be permitted to let them perform actual actions.

Of cause, sysadmins, developers, specialists and the like will find some
ways to use them as "ordinary users", but ... I really fail why
extending their personal accounts' $PATH is demanding to much for this
audience.

Gradually, I am beginning to think, this thread only takes place,
because this is a developer's list for whom using */sbin tools is their
day-time job :-)
