Straight from the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard, version 2.3 (emphasis mine): "/sbin : System binaries Purpose Utilities used for system administration (and other *root-only* commands) are stored in /sbin, /usr/sbin, and /usr/local/sbin. /sbin contains binaries essential for booting, restoring, recovering, and/or repairing the system in addition to the binaries in /bin. [...]" The /sbin/ (and /usr/sbin, et al.) stuff is specifically meant for administrative utilities. Having it in a user's PATH makes no sense when they are not meant to use these. And, if they *are* meant to use them, then it's likely that they need at least limited root privileges, so sudo or something similar should be configured for the purpose, not merely some PATH munging.
