With how often severe CVEs pop up years or even decades later, that is an unwise line of thinking.

In 2020, iOS suffered a zero day exploit based on font library code from the 90s. A bug that sat dormant for 30 years.

As far as rewriting / rethinking core utilities, I'm glad that for example `doas` and `sudo-rs` exist to beef up root authentication.
