Thanks.

Since a while, I have the feeling we would need only 'doas' and 'sudo'
as built-in, in order to apply 'sudo COMMAND' or so. 'su' isn't needed,
it is equivalent to 'cd /su::'. But I don't know whether we shall remove
it; people might have adapted their workflow to use it.

Best regards, Michael.
