I'm certainly no newbie (futzing around on Unixy systems since the early 80ies), but I just couldn't agree more for the "average user" case. Power users will fix any (very minor) annoyance this causes, and move on. The */sbin was a step forward in putting some order into the mess. So some commands got missclassified? Sh*t happens. Others /can/ be useful for users on foot? Create a user-friendly command (even a shell script!) that gives access to the (limited) functionality they want/need/can use.
