That's up to you; we don't consider it a system utility, that's all.

Our hier(7) is pretty clear, and we try to stick to it:

     /bin/      user utilities fundamental to both single-user and
		multi-user environments

     /sbin/     system programs and administration utilities fundamental
		to both single-user and multi-user environments

Since it isn't either of the above, it goes under /usr (in FreeBSD; you
are, of course, free to disagree).
