That's one criteria; the other is how early it is needed/used during boot.
(I see that many people don't want to care about that, tending to say
"Everything is needed for boot immediately ;-) I grew up where the shell in
/sbin was different from that in /usr/sbin... Only the shell in /usr/bin had
full locale support (probably also due to the fact that the locale stuff was
inside /usr...)
