Hi there mystica! I understand your frustration. This change has been
introduced to improve the user experience for inputting the password. As
is the case with running on a development branch, changes are introduced
as they are released. The final release notes of Resolute Raccoon will
mention this change and how to revert it if desired.
If you frequent in the presence of shoulder surfers, you can go back to
the old behavior by running:
$ sudo visudo
And adding the line:
Defaults !pwfeedback
To the sudoers configuration file.
As this is intended behavior, I will mark this as "Won't Fix". Still, I
want to thank you for the bug report.
All the best,
Simon
