Did I call sudo rubbish? In that case, I'm sorry. But why sudo should be the key part of Indiana? Because there are some heterogeneous networks with Linux and Solaris together? Admins can download sudo from repositories, if they really want.

Do it. Or download sudo from repositories, as you are doing now, I think. Btw. did you count also with maintaining the second tool in the core distribution? And my e-mails weren't just only about "sudo case". It was about clonning and duplication.
