Guys,

Got the sudo update with the new sudoers file, Noticed new %sudo group
designation along with the traditional %wheel:

## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command
# %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL


Any reason that we would want a sudo group instead of using wheel?


Upstream made the change so it is just being passed along. No idea why but "sudo" does seem a better name for a group of sudoers than "wheel"...
