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.
