sudo in the base system

    Sudo is certainly popular enough to justify putting it in base, but I

    holes in any system where it is installed.
If sudo is popular (and often needed to avoid spreading the root 
password), it will end up being installed wether it is a port or not.

For the sake of security, I would rather have sudo included with a 
minimal but watertight configuration done by a pro, rather than having 
to install a sudo port that I will maybe misconfigure.

Thus security shouldn't be a factor: sudo MUST come with a secure 
default configuration in _both_ cases.
