It's a basic violation of the ordinary segregation between "/bin" as
ordinary user tools" and "/sbin" as sysadmin tools to start mixing
them, and much more confusing to have the same program name in both.
And it's frankly easy to avoid. "mock", for example, should rename
"/.sbin/mock" to something else to avoid command line confusion

nonsense

./sbin/ is nowehre in the FHS
./sbin/ is not below/usr
./sbin is not protected ReadOnlyDirectories=/usr

/usr/lib/appname and /usr/libexec exists

/sbin isn't a separate filesystem, it is a subdirectory of "/", and
it's explicitly mentioned at
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/2.2/fhs-3.14.html as requiring copies or
symlinks to certain specific, long-stable program names. Let me quote
that document:

Ahhh, I am sorry, I may have contributed to the confusion by mistyping
"/sbin" as ""/.sbin". I'm on a new email interface, and am having some
difficulty with "overwriting" as opposed to my preferred default
"insertion" for editing. But that was my own fault

the same nonsense

/sbin is the same as /usr/sbin for a long time now
