Currently vendoring all of the dependencies for Rust implementation pulls in 1.75 million SLOC, which I find amusing.

This is a lot of SLOC, and a huge surface area to pull targeted supply-chain attacks, IMO.

P.S.: I know you don't compile in all of this into the binary, yet consider the eyes and work hours required to verify that the whole chain is sane and safe.

This is how it looks:

    vagrant@rust-playground:~/development/sudo-rs$ cloc .
        3549 text files.
        3271 unique files.                                          
         453 files ignored.
