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.

Sounds reasonable. Is there a place to read up on "does" or is that in
very early stages yet?
