/usr/local/bin is in my path - if a distro does not include it, it is
imho a bug.
It's there, but it comes after /bin and /usr/bin, making it
useless for people who install replacement versions of vendor
packages.
I use this workaround in my /etc/profile.d/zzz_profile.sh:
# reorder local
PATH=/usr/local/bin:`echo $PATH | sed -e 's,:*/usr/local/bin,,g' -e
's,:*/usr/local/sbin,,g'`
test "$UID" = 0 && PATH=/usr/local/sbin:$PATH
