That's another reason to un-blacklist "sudo" ;-)

Nah, that's more a reason to re-add to blacklist ;-)

Most important reason why I never considered using sudo is, it's not in
base.
I'm wondering, if it's such a versatile helper, and there are no
frequent security issues – by implementation nor by design – wouldn't it
have landed in base long time ago?


Still interested if anybody recommeends "doas" or any of the other
alternatives listed there for any good reason:
