Binaries that are essential for system recovery, even in case there's
no /usr file system available (since it's disk is dead, or it's NFS
and not reachable to recover the system).  This includes everything
that handles potential backup media and establishing a basic network
connection.  (The argument is for both, /bin and /sbin here.  The
latter decision should be based on hier(7).)
