 I've also been running it in /sbin myself for other reasons for quite some 
 time.  In particular for the SMP kernel where it's damn handy to be able 
 to boot cpu's in single user mode with / mounted read-only where the risk 
 of a crash and stray write is minimised (it's still vulnerable as it's 
 filesystem protection only, but it's better than nothing).
 
 I think this was talked about before, I think..  I don't remember the 
 outcome.
 
 Cheers,
