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, -Peter
