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

assumes the user is root because it lives in /sbin is fundamentally
broken. The LSB doesn't mandate this (at least, not anywhere I can see),
so I propose that we just do it.
Anyone opposed to such an action?
Not at all,

I've been consistenly changing /etc/profile todo exactly this since the
day I started using RH 4.0
+1 for me also.
rmmod was given as an example of an sbin executable that has no non-root
uses. I disagree with that, it has 2 perfectly valid uses: 'rmmod -V'
and 'rmmod -h' :-)
My concern would more be on the sudden appearance in PATH of daemons
that have no business being run from the shell even as root (other than
for debugging), such has httpd or wpa_supplicant, but maybe that's
another debate...
