I've once been asking this, and got null opinions.  IMHO, we should
move the mt(1) command from /usr/bin into /bin, since it's containing
functionality to modify the SCSI tape driver now that will be needed
in order to recover a system from SCSI tapes on several sites.

Currently, a statically linked mt command will bloat /bin by

-rwxr-xr-x  1 j  bin  53248 Jul 16 09:30 mt*

compared to the dynamic /usr/bin/mt:

-r-xr-xr-x  1 bin  bin  12288 Apr 29 22:34 /usr/bin/mt*


Unless somebody objects, i would going to move it some day.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
