While I'm all for #2, if #3 is what happens, please make your symlinks
the other way around.

The move is acknowledging that the binary is useful for end users and
therefore belongs in their path (and thus rightfully belongs in /bin).
The symlink is backwards compatibility for scripts and people who are
used to typing sudo /sbin/ifconfig.
I believe the symlinks should be the other way around (ln -s
/sbin/ifconfig /bin/ifconfig), signifying an admin tool that can be
useful for normal users. Most (if not all) of them are limited in
functionality when not run as root.
Taken from the man page, ifconfig is primarily a configuration tool, not
an info tool.
ifconfig - configure a network interface
