Last week I had to do a little work on a 1980's AT&T Unix box.  I'm glad
that yours isn't the only opinion that has shaped the evolution of unix,
or else I'd probably still be using such OSes all day!

Sudo is a great tool, and adding it as part of the base system would be
a great way to advance the FreeBSD security and usability baseline.  After
time, maybe enough people would start using sudo in place of su and it
would be time to consider retiring su...a process that has happened
thousands of times as a natural part of an evolving OS.
