I'm curious as to why exactly we would want our privileged group to be
called "sudo" instead of "admin". It seems to me "sudo" isn't a
descriptive name for it, and doesn't imply that the user has rights
outside of the sudo tool itself....

If we need to maintain backwards compatibility forever, why are we
making our users switch?
