Hey @pqwoerituytrueiwoq (sorry if I am pronouncing your name wrong)!

I added a wishlisted bug for this here:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo-common/+bug/2142864

In response to adding a new file - I do think we should avoid that
approach as it is then unclear who's responsible for it, as
/etc/sudoers.d/ is mostly for *other packages* (or administrators) to
plugin sudoers. Then it possible to have some degree of certainty that
when a package is purged, that file is removed as well. A user created
file would remain until it is manually deleted. Additionally, echoing a
file goes around using `visudo` which means that users may end up with
an invalid config if the line is mistyped.

Mainly, I would argue that the primary change should be to serve in
notifying users that the behavior is intended, and that they can revert
it. I don't think most users need any more guidance provided that they
are aware of the correct setting and recommended way of editing sudoers.
Athough, thanks for the suggestion. Ideas of improvement are still
appreciated and I do not want to discourage that.

All the best,
Simon
