I was curious how this stacks up against the standard sudo. This is from their GitHub:

Differences from original sudo sudo-rs supports less functionality than sudo. Some of this is by design. In most cases you will get a clear error if you try something that is not supported (e.g. use a configuration flag or command line option that is not implemented).

So more restrictive, but safer.

I bet, most of the features that are not in sudo-rs are features that are rarely used in regular sudo.
