I would say it's more that we have seen that /{s,}bin were doing two
things at once. 1), being an easy recovery method, and 2) being a set of
common tools, used every day, in familiar places (lots of things expect
/bin/sh to be sh, and /bin/ls to be, well, ls). We are now wanting to
decouple the two uses. We want our familiar-place-tools to now do more,
but we still want our easy-recovery-method around. Thus /rescue or
whatever we decide.

Take care,
