Why not take /bin and /sbin out of the default path *and* make sure
that RPM knows about /bin/* ?

I would expect that changing rpm will be a long, tedious process. Which is understandable.

But changing the default PATH that's compiled into bash should be a simpler change to push through; I see very low risk of any breakage or regressions; and it will probably solve a great majority of the resulting foobarage that cascades downstream into rpm-land.

Making rpm a bit smarter is certainly a correct fix, but something else can also be done relatively quickly to take care of most of the current fallout.
