I was thinking more towards maxim/dictum: "Never break userspace!" or "It worked before but now it is not."
Think of automated kernel build and test setups based on Debian.
Debian/testing AMD64 has...
[ /etc/login.defs ]
# *REQUIRED* The default PATH settings, for superuser and normal users. # # (they are minimal, add the rest in the shell startup files) ENV_SUPATH PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin ENV_PATH PATH=/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
IMHO users should not need to fix their environment. ( The discussion is a bit obsolete as we now have a fix. )
