You seem surprised. Are you not familiar with his political career?

Unfortunately, this is about as easy as it gets. Practically though, it isn't going to matter. It sounds like run0 will be a drop-in replacement for sudo. We will know for sure in about 3 days (at the rate at which they assimilate features).

Your second point is especially interesting, considering the recent xz backdoor. The bad actors manipulated a poor burnt out maintainer for it. In comparison, I'm impressed with gorhill for his perseverance and mental strength. I would like to know how he avoids burn out with such negative influences.

At this point, any argument in favor of Google is just astroturfing.
