On a desktop system with current constraints (XDG env vars, X11 sockets...) I'd agree, but that's hardly su's fault. On a server, tough, it just does its job nicely (unless you need strict audit of root-level actions, in which case sudo with a MAC system should be your starting point). So much noise (and security-critical code) for nothing. -- Matteo Panella
