Ditto here.

Ditto here - but not in the root filesystem.

If we had /bin/sh, a full-featured shell with respect to programming
features but minimalist with respsect to interactive use, and
/usr/bin/sh, bells-whistles-and-gongs, I'd have no problem.  Or even if
/bin/sh were minimalist but tried to dlopen /usr/libexec/fatsh.so or
some such, carrying on minimally if it weren't present but using it to
give all the features if it were, that would be fine too.

I am not trying to make life harder for people who want to use sh
interactively, except insofar as that is required for what I consider
to be a more important concern, namely, that the stuff in /bin be
minimal and as small as possible.  Line editing isn't minimal.

For that matter, what are mountd, nfsd, nfsiod doing in /sbin?
