Of all the projects which may benefit from a rewrite or re-imagining in a memory-safe language, I'm really puzzled why it's heavily-tested, near-universally-deployed software such as sudo (use oBSD doas instead?), the coreutils, and sqlite.

Doas supports a subset of sudo functionality by design. Your comment is exactly what I said when I first heard about the rust linux utils thing. The best they can do is have new bugs.

I don't think there is a big picture plan. It requires that someone care both about rust and the thing

...which is a pretty arbitrary combination
