Yeah - the whole "sudo" category just seems superfluous since the issue is with sudo, not with the individual tools.

OTOH, if people are expecting literally every program to open file handles / network sockets, then drop privileges to something else, that's a weird expectation.

I'm in the no sudo camp myself.
