I agree unifying the *programs* to a single directory makes sense. But I
fail to see anything good come out of bringing all those system daemon
executables into every users path.
To clarify: they already *are* in every user's path, see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Unify_bin_and_sbin#Detailed_Description,
third para.
Not quite true: If you're using lightdm as display manager, the PATH is
initialized to /usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin, at least on Fedora 39.
This would seem like a good opportunity to move stuff that isn't supposed to
be directly run as part of normal usage under /usr/libexec. I'm sure there
are exceptions but as a rule of thumb, if it has a systemd service file then
it should no longer be in %_sbindir.
This was also mentioned by Matthew Miller on discussion.fp.o and I
agree, but I think that that's an orthogonal issue. Individual
maintainers should evaluate this and do the move if they really think
that no one is calling the binary directly. This can be done before
or after the proposed change.
