Should chown be in /usr/sbin ?

Dear Package Maintainer,

/usr/sbin isn't (and should IMHO) be in the default path for such things 
as cron jobs, however running a shell script from a cron job should be 
able to find the chown without any special $PATH buggery.

Maybe there is a legitimate explaination.  Glancing over the rest of 
/usr/sbin most of whats there are daemons, network services and 
periodically used administration / diagnostic tools, chown doesn't seem 
to fit with anything else.

I've 5.2.1-RELEASE installed.
