Is removing setuid actually a win? I know it presents a security risk, but it feels like we're not actually removing that attack surface, just moving it around.


Well... that "attack surface" isn't new, its mostly just repackaging systemd-run, which is just used to tell PID1 to launch a new process. So in total the attack surface would be reduced by removing sudo.
