There’s a number of reasons openbsd dropped it, and all of them are fundamentally rooted in size and complexity: https://flak.tedunangst.com/post/doas

OpenBSD is a fabulous project. I've been working on tool called Cosmopolitan which helps Mac/Linux/Windows/FreeBSD developers write software that's compatible with OpenBSD: https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/blob/master/libc/sysv/s... As you can see, I've studied these systems a lot and I've got to say that OpenBSD is the closest to the Bell Labs roots I've seen from community distros. It takes a certain degree of judiciousness to maintain that authenticity and the clairvoyance w.r.t sudo should be all the proof we need that OpenBSD is up to something good.

doas is a wonderful alternative to sudo.

For one, the config file is actually easy enough to read properly.
