One minor problem - if you have sudo configured to use LDAP (using /etc/sudo-ldap.conf), then upgrading using the sudo.ws RPM will rename /etc/sudo-ldap.conf as /etc/sudo-ldap.conf.rpmsave and stop sudo working with LDAP

Moving the original /etc/sudo-ldap.conf back fixes this - but it's a pity the sudo.ws RPM doesn't provide /etc/sudo-ldap.conf as a config file - which would prevent this happening
