I find it unacceptable to do away with sudo or a replacement entirely
and rely solely on su, for various reasons.
This was recently discussed on opensuse-factory as well, with the same
sentiment. sudo is practically ingrained in 30 years of Linux backend
scripts and system administration workloads. There would be significant
breakage and disruption by its removal.
While the idea may be to protect users, the disruption to system
administration would be severe. The policy of "go fast and break things"
isn't a sane policy regarding sudo.
