Hi guys,
When updating our default PATH in /etc/profile due to the usrmerge I noticed it is not consistent with the system-wide PATH set by PID1.
systemd sets:
"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin"
which for us is equivalent to
"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
but profile used to set:
"/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/sbin:/sbin"
which for us is equivalent to
"/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/sbin"
For consistency I changed (in testing) the path set in /etc/profile to
"/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin"
Any objections?

No, this is definitely the right thing to do. Having /usr/local/sbin after /usr/bin wouldn't override binaries correctly.
