Canonical should really wake up and stop thinking that rewriting in rust is a magical way to remove bugs.
Sure the rust rewrite will surely be easier to maintain and less error prone (Assuming the code is idiomatic), but you can’t rewrite software maturity.
They should put it behind a checkbox instead of shoving it down anyone’s throat. They are literally testing in prod
Oh dear god I think you are joking but I know people who seriously do LFS as their production setup and get pissy anytime people say they are doing it wrong if they want to work with anyone else in the industry.

We have yet to see if they’ll stick to the Rust implementations for 26.04. If you’re running non-LTS Ubuntu in prod, that’s not on Canonical…
If we expect software like sudo to stick around for decades to come, a transition phase like this might very well be worth the investment.
IMO if you’re running Ubuntu at all in prod you already fucked up.
Real professionals use LFS, obvs

Yes, because normal sudo never had bugs…
One of the vulnerabilities has remained unnoticed for over 12 years.
By software maturity you mean that the bugs are hitting puberty?
