Enjoy the ride. ;-)

As far as I know. I can think of no strong arguments against the move
to sbin, and many for it. I expect it will stay. I believe all of the
developers who had an opinion stated it when the change first happened,
and it wasn't reverted at that point and no one strongly favored
reverting the change, so I can't think of anything that would make it
change.

So you figured you'd share your annoyance with all of us, so that we too
could be annoyed? ;-)

Have fun and rest easy in the knowledge that Henrik (as most of us know,
Henrik does all the hard work around here these days) didn't change any
of those things to bug you. He did so to make Squid better, more
consistent, or more comprehensible, in some small way.
