The Ubuntu 25.10 transition to using some Rust system utilities continues proving quite rocky. Beyond some early performance issues with Rust Coreutils, breakage for some executables, and broken unattended upgrades due to a Rust Coreutils bug, it’s also sudo-rs now causing Ubuntu developers some headaches. There are two moderate security issues affecting sudo-rs, the Rust version of sudo being used by Ubuntu 25.10.
yo the people railing against this must consider themselves geniuses. It’s like people have a hateboner for rust.
Have you considered maybe that this was expected regardless of what language you do it in? It’s a rewrite and that’s definitely going to miss several decades of changes that have made the normal version good.
You have to measure the time it takes for the rust version to get to the same level as the non-rust counterpart.
Consider also you actually can’t switch off your brain because of memory guarantees. You have to work on other important things too.
Also keep a count of CVEs that the rust version generated and decide if the current port is better or a failure.
