> If all you are using sudo on is a personal (i.e. single user) laptop/desktop to install packages, this (along with other things like pkexec or doas) would seem to present no issues Of course, once distros start to say 'wait, why are we shipping 3 different privilege escalation systems again? Systemd is needed for starting units anyway, so lets just drop sudo and su'

sudo is not installed by default on many distros (e.g. if you give a root password on Debian install, then sudo is not installed, but if you don't, it is so you can admin the system), so unless systemd introduces something to break sudo, I don't think it'll go away (it just may get bumped down the list of important packages). su seems to come from https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/ https://mirrors.edge.kernel.org/pub/linux/utils/util-linux/, which is all the truly core stuff, and I don't see su disappearing from there.
