it's the only, not so long ago /sbin or /usr/sbin wasn't in PATH for
normal users

it's *all* below /usr for years now

it's not needed during boot at all and things changed a lot in the past
years given that it exists in the initrd - systems don't boot and work
like they did when you grew up and so it makes no sense design file
system layouts like decades ago

fails because it expects "Re:" or "AW:"
