Deoxodizing is rather easy for now:

apt install sudo-ws

apt remove coreutils-from-uutils --allow-remove-essential

Yes, thankfully.

However it is pretty obvious at this point that Ubuntu will absolutely remove those from one of the future releases because availability of real sudo and coreutils is detrimental to the virtue signaling they are engaging in.

After being a lifetime Ubuntu user I have moved to Debian across almost all of my production.

The setting to echo isn’t configurable?

It is. Only the default changed. Also you can press tab if someone happens to be looking over your shoulder (and your password is so obvious they can guess it from the length).

Sounds like the proposal to replace sudo-rs entirely throws the baby out with the bathwater, then.
