It could be done, but /etc/sudoers.d still might have odd interactions with
the main file, and in any case it'd be a certain amount of work which might
not get accepted upstream. Meanwhile, group approach works right now and
requires a one character change to an existing config file.

Developing a special sudoers.d directory also doesn't automatically work
with userhelper/consolehelper -- which the group solution does. (And
PolicyKit can work off group membership too, right?)
