--- Comment #3 from Mason Loring Bliss <mason at blisses.org> ---
Expanding the path would obviate the problem, but it would also change the
behaviour for regular users who arguably should have to explicitly add /sbin,
/usr/sbin, and similar. I'd be happy with expanding the path.

My idea of a default file with a commented out PATH seemed like the
least-invasive option - users with established crontabs wouldn't be impacted at
all, and new crontabs would have a small, subtle reminder that their PATH isn't
necessarily the same as it was in the shell they used to invoke crontab(1).

Regardless of whate solution you folks decide is appropriate, thank you for
your time and work.
