That is a good argument to not change it , why we need break backward
compatibility ?
Nah. It just means we don't change any configuration or PATH stuff,
which is fine because the sbin -> bin symlink will cover it.
is not sbin for super users and bin for users ?
No. This is one of those many myths about the "Unix FHS". And it
doesn't even matter much these days anyway, since most newer
administrative tools don't install in sbin anyway.
