I disagree. Most of the commands in these paths aren't really meant to be
executed by _anyone_ directly (httpd, for example).

For the rest, most people really don't need to use them, so they'd just be
clutter. This is particularly annoying if you use tab completion a lot (and
if you use the command line a lot, you *should*).
