The purpose of `/usr/sbin` does not seem to be understood here. It is (as far as I know) for statically linked binaries. If you use dynamically-linked libraries, those can potentially be manipulated via LD_PRELOAD or something. So admin software is probably something that should be in this category. There might be other reasons I'm not aware of for having a category for statically linked stuff. This means little if nobody is checking on the distro side to make sure that sbin is filled with statically linked stuff. I don't want to attribute this change to malice because it is a rather arcane detail, but let's just say that I don't approve of IBM's recent activities related to Linux and FOSS.
