I don't understand - I thought sudo-rs was supposed to be a drop-in replacement? If it implements a subset of features how can this be the case?

I don't think sudo-rs ever advertised itself as a drop in replacement. They seem pretty upfront that it isn't their goal. See this list:

Its not that if they have advertised themselves as a drop-in replacement or not. What made me bummed that cannonical used it as drop-in replacement and it did break some of my installation scripts.

the uutils project bills themselves as a drop-in replacement for coreutils. sudo-rs does not bill itself as a drop-in replacement for sudo
