    Personally, I would like to see sudo not only in the base system, but in
    the base system with a default configuration that mimics su(1) and thus
    replaces it entirely. The only difference is which password you need to
    provide. After a period for migration (or perhaps just in 6.x and noted in
    the release notes), su could become just a symlink to sudo.

    sudo is something I install on absolutely every box, usually symlinking su
    as above.
