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.
