> genuine sudo
That made me curious, it sounds related to this:

i was referring to their counterfeit sudo emulator written in rust. It's called "sudo-rs" afair.

I'm don't quite understand what this means: you can say that you want GNU coreutils when you install build-essential? How does that work on the CLI?
But it's clear that Ubuntu will remove coreutils, genuine sudo and other tools from the future versions. It's the direction, it's ideological and thus nor merit nor our feedback will change anything here.
