I suspect that this is somewhat like the existence of /usr/sbin/linux and linux(8). You might check the mailing list archives for a discussion some time ago about the merits of this sort of thing. IIRC, such a discussion consumed copious bandwidth some time ago. (Sorry, I don't remember when... been reading FreeBSD mail for about six years now, and am getting a little fuzzy on names and dates and suchforth.)
