In what way would it benefit a majority of users? I could be wrong,
but I suspect the majority of Fedora installations only have one
administrator, in which case, sudo actually ends up making things
_less_ secure (it provides another account by which root access can be
cracked).
In a "1st user gets sudo" scenario, I'd lock the root account. It
wouldn't be _another_ account to crack, it would be a different
account.
Plus, root accounts are known to be present. Usernames with sudo
access would need to be guessed or discovered through other means.
