That's part of the dark outcome of so many untested features: it makes it easy to cast FUD upon any potential replacements. As we have no black-box test suite that shows `sudo` implements all of these features, so we also cannot have faith that any replacement would. Ideally it should be possible to run sudo's black box tests against any potential replacement. To start with, we need those tests.

There are actually a bunch of tests for the sudoers file format.
