But you are confused, you are saying that a system binary should be in
/usr/bin instead of /usr/sbin and that everyone knows that /usr/bin
contains both so be careful not to stumble upon them.  You are confused
because you must not know the importance of the need for /usr/sbin.  But
if Cygwin doesn't care to mix and match that then put everything in
/usr/bin and get rid of /usr/sbin. That is why I said "Having it both
ways is just confusing even if the confusion isn't apparent to you."
You've just proven the point.
