I've done this.
The biggest downside is you can't copy/paste it into a system without sudo. I guess a more advanced version could have a checkbox to turn on/off the sudo part, but I doubt it's worth going *that* far.
Whilst I don't object to the change, I do think it's important to note that the more likely issue is not that sudo isn't on the system, but that it's not configured.
