I think sudo could actually display why sudo is needed for security reasons. #514

For instance, the user pastes in a long line with multiple semicolons into the shell and press enter to execute the entire line and they might not have checked the entire thing because it is long.
I heard some people try to troll Linux users by using base 64 to actually obfuscate a command.
I think in the big 2026, cybersecurity is important. I have been using an immutable Linux distribution because of my fear of screwing my system up. I think sudo should display that for all folks not using an immutable Linux distro. Imagine deleting the entire system because of running a script by an internet stranger because of not knowing why the sudo was even there in the first place. If someone doesn't check, it really stands to reason that they shouldn't screw it all up.
