This helps only in the case where you are happy with the same decision across all users. However, a sysadmin that needs to log in with non-root credentials should not be forced into having the path that is needed for an application admin to do his work. In general, sysadmins that have been bit by flaky NFS servers or disks experiencing read errors are more likely to have fairly simple login environments. If a shell that hashes PATH contents is used, an overpopulated (enforced) default PATH that tries to satisfy all users on a shared system is rather difficult.
