I would do so for the following reasons:
1. Even though the security arguments are weak, they are going to be
checkmarks on audits which can't be changed for years.

it helps if they can point to an "official" change versus an email.
This is an excellent point. Chasing the history of such changes through
myriad email is always frustrating, especially since it's often
inconclusive of what actually did happen.
Just checking my own PATH, I see some surprising things at the front:
$ echo $PATH
/usr/libexec/python3-sphinx:/usr/lib64/qt-3.3/bin:/usr/lib64/ccache:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
I love Sphinx and Qt, but what are they doing there ... at the front?
If nothing else, that seems an inefficient search order. Yeah, caching
will alleviate most of that, so why are they there at all?
