Shame it doesn't fix the fundamental problem with sudo: it is almost
impossible to actually set it up so that the access of a sudoer is
truly restricted.  I've almost never walked up to a system with sudo
installed and spent more than ten minutes looking around before finding
a way to use sudo to gain unrestricted root access.  Heck, many places,
the most common thing sudo is used for is to run /bin/sh! ;-)

A lot of people don't want sudo; they want su -c and don't know that
it exists.  But with sudo, they get to be deceived into thinking that
they have somehow increased the security of their systems... not good.
