This will be great. We can finally deprecate sudo on systemd systems. Then we should be able to deprecate PAM, setuid bit, etc.

I can see creating a system with zero setuid files, but I don't think this reduces PAM use, does it?

Not setuid generically, but `sudo` itself has a bunch of pam support/dependency.

I would expect sudo to also touch pam a lot, but AIUI systemd also uses pam through polkit for its ~native permission system - https://serverfault.com/questions/841306/authentication-is-r...
