Of course. A lot of the stuff that lives in /sbin (and /usr/sbin and
/usr/local/sbin, for that matter) is necessary for what I need to do.

Because most Linux distros are broken. According to me, stuff in the sbin
directories should be restricted to admins, and stuff that is meant for
general consumption should be slapped in the bin directories.
