Exactly one of the reasons I don't like rendering sudo implicit, and even less strip it of its pw protection. I really prefer to take my chances making select parts of the FS writable to the admin group, and allow non-privileged port to write to my home directory. There's nothing in there that I cannot restore from backup. The same applies for the rest of the system, but recuperating from a borked OS or from a borked $HOME are not exactly comparable in terms of effort.
