While I'm all for #2, if #3 is what happens, please make your symlinks
the other way around.
/bin/ifconfig
ln -s /bin/ifconfig /sbin/ifconfig
The move is acknowledging that the binary is useful for end users and
therefore belongs in their path (and thus rightfully belongs in /bin).
The symlink is backwards compatibility for scripts and people who are
used to typing sudo /sbin/ifconfig.
