I would guess that the theory is that the stuff in /sbin is
supposed to be either (a) useless or (b) dangerous to the
typical user. Myself, I don't regard it as such a bad thing
that I need to type '/sbin/shutdown -h' when I want to do
a shutdown.
(You do know that it's trivial to add /sbin to your path if
you want it to be there, right?)
