the new behaviour is actually the whole POINT of sudo: enabling certain users to run commands as root (or other users) WITHOUT having to tell them the password for the target account - which would also enable them to just do "su -" and do ANYTHING as the other account.
Nobody argues with that. By all means let next version of (open)SUSE installer/YaST to default to this behavior and offer framework to decide, which users are enabled to use sudo. And when this is available, switch default sudo behavior. But as implemented this change simply broke sudo for existing users without any warning.
