I wish they'd make this sort of change more explicit. It had me
confused for a while.  I have loads of other Linux based systems and
I'm used to them requiring a password for sudo so I don't have an
issue with that. I just don't like things like this changing without
the change being noted somewhere.

Are there release notes anywhere that would have told me?
