This has been brought up before and I didn't comment, but I don't think Axel should be adding a bunch of directories to the default path just because various systems may have software installed there. This seems more like something that should be done by the user in ~/.fish or possibly by the sysadmin in the system-wide fish file. What I think makes the most sense is for the directories that are most commonly available and populated (/bin, /usr/bin, /usr/X11R6/bin and when root /sbin, /usr/sbin) should be in the default path.
