why 'udevadm' is installed in /usr/bin/, instead of /sbin/ ?

I check with some other distro. they all deploy 'udevadm' to /sbin, and the Xen also expects /sbin/udevadm. But Arch installs it at /usr/bin/. Is there a particular reason? Or it is a bug?

udev 181-4 (currently in [testing] repo) has a symlink there:

[karol@black ~]$ ls -l /sbin/udevadm
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 18 03-02 00:05 /sbin/udevadm -> ../usr/bin/udevadm

It may be a part of moving things out of /sbin & Co., a bit like fedora does / did.
