It's always been our policy that /stand is not needed for system
recovery (though perhaps useful).  Managing the large blurb binary in
/stand (or are it two of them?  maybe) in case of partial upgrades
(-current etc.) is much more difficult than the separate binaries
under /bin.

Shared binaries are slower, not faster. ;)
