It's originally made by the openBSD guys I think and that's probably the
only place it is pre-installed. (If it matters please fact check me as
that's from memory)

Since 99.9% of usecases for sudo and doas are simply "doas thing" I have
no clue how to use either of them and appreciate documentation telling
me what flags to put.

I've explicitly removed sudo from my machine as supposedly sudo is a
large complex codebase that likely has bugs (although that's probably
just openBSD propaganda).

That being said, it is kinda niche.  I say this is a good patch but I
also wouldn't fight dissenters that hard.
