Why don't we add symlinks for those in /bin?

The path idea is better.

And finally: usermode helper? You could then try to distinguish
between e.g. route or mount run to display state versus modifying it
(perhaps a shell script which went [ $# -gt 0 ] && exec
/sbin/$whatever ...).

The split is useful in those cases where e.g. the /usr/bin command is
actually different to the one in /sbin.

There is also a similar case for /usr/bin vs /bin (e.g. some OSs
traditionally had very stripped down versions of a few command in
/sbin or /bin, then fuller ones in /usr/bin - trivial example would be
"vi" of course).
