normally no software should break independent of that
order because it finds the binary anyways in the path
and it is unlikely in a clean setup that the same
binary exists in both

however, the semantics of /usr/sbin is to contain superuser
binaries which should not be overriden because a binary
with the same name exists in /usr/bin
