    Okay, that’s a lot of someones. That doesn’t contradict “someone has forked it.” You’re being unnecessarily assy.

    As per other comments, sudo-rs exists and is being maintained. And that’s the magic of FOSS.

    Although it’s apparently not a fork. But it’s still a workable substitute, and that’s what matters. My entire point was that the entire Linux ecosystem isn’t going to be fucked just because one guy dies or decides to stop maintaining a widely used codebase.
