Re: Please, don't let sudo be auto-removable

[José Esteban <chafar@chafar.net>]

Hello.

Is it realistic to hope you to remember such many little things like 
this each time you setup some system ? How many headless systems usually 
work without sudo ?

I'm worked a whole life making software and I've always acted to ease my 
users' life... but may be just me.

Thanks for the response; I'll try to remember to apt-mark sudo as manual 
installed next time.

Best regards.
