Why should sudo be moved to the Age of Humans? It really doesn't belong there. As Matthew Paul Thomas mentioned it isn't time to change sudo, but to change those users who keep on posting difficult commands which a user doesn't undestand. Stop those forum members from saying: "Just enter 'sudo apt-get install app-name' in the Terminal." A user doesn't know what this command does. Just tell him where to click to install this application. Tell the forum administrators to edit or remove these kind of Terminal posts and replace them with proper GUI posts. Send a warning to people who keep on posting Terminal commands. That's what needs to happen.

A user doesn't type a sudo command of oneself. They type those commands, because they were told to do so by members on the forum. Those people need to change. Just let them explain how to do some task using the GUI and only tell a user to use a Terminal command if the user asks for a command.
