I agree, but the goal of this particular project is to make sudo as safe as possible. Within the stated goal, I don’t think significant LOC reduction is a feasible side quest.

Evangelizing the removal of sudo entirely is an interesting thought but given how widely deployed it is, I see a ton of value in having a sudo-rs stopgap between now and then.




Sorry, yes, I think this work is useful, but I also think that sysadmins and distro maintainers should be starting to think about dropping sudo in favour of something simpler. Those who need sudo can still reach for it.
