[systemd-devel] sbin vs bin

I just noticed this change:

8 hours	build-sys: move systemd from /sbin to /bin since it should be used by normal ...	Lennart Poettering	1	-5/+2

When would a non-root user even invoke the systemd executable?
For testing an expert might run systemd as a non-root user but
then they can just add /sbin to their path, an action they should
be capable of if they are playing with systemd.  Init is in /sbin
and anyone that knows that would expect systemd to be there also.

Thanks,
