The ability to isolate users from commands that they can’t use anyway is a nice 
touch, but the kernel and the utilities should handle the first line, IMHO.

I also personally prefer /bin and /sbin separate, and like to have a /usr/local 
for self-compiled stuff to keep tidy, but that’s not a hill I’d prefer (or have 
the time) to die on.
