i am unsure if RHEL/Cent did this, but at one of the places i worked you had to do /bin/ls. I expect this is much more common at places that do lots of acquisitions. that way if some random cron job relies on UB from some tool in order to not start the DC on fire, it doesn't matter. Admins use latest tooling, the software gets whatever it came with and was working until actual competent devs can look at it and move it to ansible or whatever puppet/chef i forget what they all used.
