I think that if this improvement is worth the trouble, it should go
into the firstboot application (upstream), even if only as a
configurable firstboot option.
Sure, there is no disagreement on the ideal path.
There has been RFE's
(sometimes with patches) for similar things a long time. The
traditional problem is a very diffused userbase where anything except
status quo tends to meet with opposition. The recent change to add sbin
to path being a recent example where somebody decides to go ahead and do
it anyway. Hopefully that happens with sudo as well. Meanwhile I will
do two different composes. One with configuration changes and another
without to gather feedback from users.
