I run Gentoo, and my /bin/sh is symlinked to /bin/bash, which is an actual executable. Red Hat 7.3, 8.0, RHEL4.0 all are the same. I just checked. The /bin directory should contain all of the binaries really "necessary" for the system to boot in at least single-user mode. Barring some stupid stuff like rpm libraries, everything is linked to /lib/* libraries so the /usr partition is completely desparate.
