At present, FHS 2.3 states:

3.4. /bin : Essential user command binaries (for use by all users)
3.4.1. Purpose
/bin contains commands that may be used by both the system administrator and
by users, but which are required when no other filesystems are mounted (e.g.
in single user mode). It may also contain commands which are used indirectly
by scripts. 1

I would appear that system init is one of those things that should rely on
"essential" things only (because it is itself in charge of mounting those
unmounted file systems). At least IMHO.
If python became required for basic system functionality at boot it should
be placed in /bin,/lib. The same would be true when discussing a "more
friendly" text editor. In other words getting /usr mounted from init
isn't the problem, if there is a problem its that certain applications
live in /usr when they should live in /sbin,/bin,/lib.
