Sure, and those people are free to continue to use the C-based implementation of sudo, implement the features themselves and submit patches to the maintainers of the rust sudo implementation, etc. But, the idea that a feature, once implemented, is sacrosanct and can never be deprecated is insane, especially for a piece of critical security infrastructure.
- infamouscow 3y agoHaving disdain for real-world business requirements is probably why Rust sees so little use in the real world.
- marcus0x62 3y agoThat’s an interesting criticism. With commercial projects I’ve been involved in, feature deprecation was always based on a business case built on cost vs future revenue projections, not on a sense of duty to maintain ever single feature forever, regardless or whether or not anyone actually used it.
