Not exactly. Zbigniew decided that 'migrating' existing systems would
be too risky, so instead, they still have a separate /usr/sbin , but
everything in it should now be a symlink pointing to /usr/bin.

I have reservations about this design as it means pre-F42 upgraded
systems will differ significantly from F42+ fresh installs forever, but
we'll see how it works out.
