I can only thank you for the work you've done in creating sudo, I think it's an invaluable tool in the general day to day use for so many people. As someone working on sudo-rs, our goal with creating it never was to invalidate any of the work previously done, and we are very much aware that our implementation will not be bug free, especially not at the start.

For me personally, creating this Rust version allowed me to work on something that I would normally not be able to work on, given how I would not rate my confidence in writing relatively safe C code very high. If nothing else, at least we already found a few bugs in the original sudo because of this work. Despite the 43 years of bugfixing, such a piece of software is unlikely to ever be free of bugs, even if just for the changing surroundings.

Other than that, having some alternatives can never hurt, as long as we keep cooperating and trying to learn from each others work (and from each others mistakes).
