Some. More than enough. Potentially two, critical ones. Is that better?

I bet you the existing program also has two critical bugs. It's replacing imperfect with imperfect and rewrites are not necessarily worse. Especially if a program grew a ton over time and you can give it a better structure and a better spec document.

There are systems where you really want to preserve accidental quirks of behavior that other things depend on. Sudo I think is not one of those.

I agree.

How about we just start using doas, anyway?

I'm not well versed in the motivation of this project.

But yeah a simpler program is probably good in this situation.
