If you don't take them all, how does this solve the problem that 'su'
vs. 'su -' will still not have all the same things included in your
path? Personally, I'd rather see everything moved to /bin and /usr/bin
with /sbin and /user/sbin changed to compatibility symlinks, but that
can only be done cleanly during a new install (or maybe wrapped in a
reboot).
