What problem do you foresee?

I ask this since for as long as I can remember I've modified my PATH and
have /sbin and /usr/sbin right after ~/bin at the very beginning.  
Since it has been so long that I have had it this way I may not know I
have a problem...or maybe I'm ignoring it.

I'm not sure if I'm an ordinary user, a veteran user, or something
else.  :-)
