Maybe so, but I'm on 20221103 and with those lines there it works as I'd been accustomed to it working since I first started using openSUSE/SUSE. I'm not so sure it's a "bug" in the classic sense and more of a shift in [initial] setup paradigms; basically an awareness thing and tempering expectations. That being said, I don't actually use this mechanism of sudo, so it didn't "bite" me, but this post caught my eye since I generally disable this functionality anyway.
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+. And even if this change was discussed/approved, someone should've tested them manually to make sure sudo won't end up broken.
