Which ones in particular do you object to, and why is hard coding all of those directories worse than hard-coding /bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin? It's extremely confusing to get some commands but not all commands in PATH, and there are already systems consuming NetBSD code that don't follow that old unix directory structure.
