User Experience for the CLIs

Why not sn_node in /usr/local/bin?

Hardly of ground-shaking importance right now but something that has bugged me for a while… If the safe CLI binary should be placed in /usr/local/bin and under root ownership then why is the sn_node binary (the new safenode) not handled similarly? Placing binaries in /usr/local/bin is of course more correct, more “Unixy” even if the benefits seem to be somewhat nebulous in this case as SAFE is unlikely to be run (in earnest) on a true multi-user box.
