Why are you prefering Linux users and not MS Windows users? Or maybe Mac
OS X users? I don't really understand why somebody is speaking about
Linux users only. Is Linux so much better in usability than other
platforms? Or has wider users base than others? I don't think so. Leave
clonning of GNU world on Nexenta, it's their job. Try to find better
ways then just clonning, duplicating etc.

Yes, implement sudo as "wrapper" around Solaris solutions, why not. This
is good point.

Best regards,

P.S.: The most of Linux users started as MS Windows users or UNIX
users... They needed to learn how to use that "strange" new OS -
GNU/Linux.
