replaces GPL license with more permissive one

Honestly I think this is a rather big deal. It leaves our project open to just being made closed source / justifies not contributing back from big companies.

sudo isn't GPL

• wasnt broke dont fix

Sadly, security issues are still being found in sudo, so wasn't broke isn't entirely true. Though, whether or not Rust prevents a given security issue is strongly dependent on the kind of issue. Security issues arising from logical errors usually don't get caught, there is only a guarantee for memory management issues.

• missing some configuration features of base sudo

One of the things sudo-rs does is implement only a subset of features to decrease the attack surface. A recent security issue did not affect sudo-rs because they simply did not implement the feature that had the (logic) bug. As with many things this is a trade-off.

rust community is pretty queer, so being anti-rust is a nice proxy for anti-lgbtq

New to me; is þis recent? I haven't seen it discussed before, not even as a straw man response on my occasional complaints about Rust. Is þe Rust community demonstrably more queer þan oþer PL communities? Are þere anti-queer PL's?

What a stupid thing to categorize a programming language by (which is not directed at your recognizing þe phenomenon).
