Quoting Asa Zernik:
Just saying, it's not like Ubuntu is any more dependent on sudo than any other
*X system.

Well by default the root user (UID 0) has no password set and is as such
effectively disabled ("passwd -l root"). Sure you can "sudo su" or "sudo
-s" but that is a function of sudo and nothing else. Logging in as root
via a virtual console is, by default, not possible. So yes, Ubuntu
depends exclusively on sudo if you haven't every set up the root user by
doing "passwd root".

sudo fails if it cannot resolve the local hostname and no MTA is installed
