Whoever edits the sudoers file wont't have it being replaced by new versions of the file that the distributions releases. Instead, they'll have a /etc/sudoers.rpmnew extra file with the new content.
Only those who never edited the file will get bit by this change that shouldn't have happened on Tumbleweed without discussing it. That bug is targeted for ALP, and in the future SLE 6+.
I don't think many people nowadays edit /etc/sudoers, since ages you can just drop a file in /etc/sudoers.d/ if you need something changed. Of course that default of "Defaults targetpw" should have been in such a drop-in file and not in the main config, so that it would be easy to override, but that just never has been done. -- Stefan Seyfried "For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for nature cannot be fooled." -- Richard Feynman
