Why would it be needed to continue the development of sudo? Isn't it done and finished, after 30 years of development?

  The monthly releases seem to indicate otherwise.

    Something's deeply wrong here.

      Then fork it and finish it. I’m sure it will be a huge success.

        You should look up "doas". It might enlighten you.

          If you have a point to make then make it. I don’t accept anonymous homework assignments.

      Things have changed quite a bit in the past 30 years! I encourage you to peek at their changelog (https://www.sudo.ws/releases/changelog/ https://www.sudo.ws/releases/changelog/) for more insight into why this project is still under active development.

        I just learned about amathia (https://modernstoicism.com/there-is-nothing-banal-about-philosophy-by-massimo-pigliucci/ https://modernstoicism.com/there-is-nothing-banal-about-phil...), which seems to apply here.

      It's a kitchen sink tool that does way too many things.

  It's all bug fixes it seems. What is surprising is that so many bugs remain even after all this time and effort. And no, for the most part these are not the kinds of bugs that are squashed by a rewrite in Rust.
