The version of sudo in base was 5 years old and not really maintainable. Theo has been uncomfortable with the amount of code in sudo that runs as root so there was resistance to updating it to a newer version. Moving sudo to ports means we have a more modern version available and also makes it possible to have an LDAP flavor. Sudo in base will likely be replaced either by tedu's doas or an extended su. - todd
