Is there an aricle with specifics on this and why it was done?

  I have no direct information about this specific case, but in ye olden Unix™ days, there was no /sbin, so all those binaries instead lived in /etc. The Red Hat symlinks could be a backwards-compatibility thing.

    You mean bug-compability?
    • teddyh 11y ago
      No, I would not mean that, since the previous behavior was not a bug.
