Hi, Does anyone mind if we (slowly) move binaries from $out/sbin to $out/bin?
Arguments for doing it: 1) The sbin vs bin distinction is an historic relic from the past. It makes little sense on NixOS. (Even a normal (LSB-like) distro like ArchLinux has already made the sbin -> bin switch). 2) It's annoying to have this distinction when writing nix expressions, having to figure out which of the two directories is the correct one for *this* package. 3) I just found my second sbin/bin bug caused by sbin being treated as a second class citizen in nixpkgs. I noticed that our standard builder will not add packages' sbin/ directory to PATH. (The first issue was from a long time ago, when sbin wasn't added to PATH by the profile.sh script (maybe wrong name) when on a non-NixOS distro.)
