---------------------------+------------------------------------------------
 The Udev rule_generator.functions file has a "sysreadlink" function that
 uses the readlink binary.  That functions file also sets PATH to
 /sbin:/bin (it was designed to be used before /usr is mounted), which
 means readlink needs to be in either /sbin or /bin.

 Chapter 6 coreutils leaves it in /usr/bin (while moving many other
 programs).  I think we should add readlink to the list of programs being
 moved to /bin.

 As for other distros, at least Debian has it in /bin (I don't know about
 any others).  See:
