Fedora 41 will unify bin and sbin
< Changes Unify /usr/bin and /usr/sbin Summary The /usr/sbin directory becomes a symlink to bin, which means paths like /usr/bin/foo and /usr/sbin/foo point to the same place. /bin and /sbin are already symlinks to usr/bin and usr/sbin, so effectively /bin/foo and /sbin/foo also point to the same place.
In this approach, the user-facing program (/bin/foo) is a symlink to/bin/consolehelper, which is a suid binary that elevates privileges and calls the "real" foo(/sbin/foo or/usr/libexec/foo). In some ways that split was similar: it had historical justification that went away more than a decade prior, it was impossible to cleanly categorize programs into the the categories so effectively both parts were needed for boot, and even though it was making the system more complicated for little gain, the split was being carried forward because it was easier to do so than to remove it ( http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/TheCaseForTheUsrMerge).
