All, |

I would like for us to discuss adding the sbin directories to PATH for |
| 4 |
all users. |
| 5 |
|
| 6 |
The only reason I can think of that we have removed them is cosmetic (it |
| 7 |
removes things from tab completion), but I have also heard that having |
| 8 |
those things in tab completion would be a good thing. |

Another reason I am bringing this up is this bug [1]. On standard OSx, |
| 11 |
there is no reason to hard code the path to sysctl like I'm being asked |
| 12 |
to do in the patch associated with this bug, because the sbin |
| 13 |
directories are always in the path. In other words, it isn't worth the |
| 14 |
effort to send this patch upstream, which means there will always be a |
| 15 |
Gentoo-specific patch to dev-lang/go unless upstream finds another way |
| 16 |
to do the test they are doing on OSx via sysctl. |

Any ideas? |
