I propose that we add /sbin and /usr/sbin to the path for normal users

non-root users (ifconfig, fdisk, parted), and IMHO, any tool which
assumes the user is root because it lives in /sbin is fundamentally
broken.

Perhaps the initial ancient UNIX idea was to isolate unprivileged users from commands which they cannot run. IOW, to avoid a situation "I've discovered that there is a command, but why I have no rights to run it?" :)
