[gentoo-user] Change in sudoers format?

[Walter Dnes]

I just ran an update and noticed that etc-update wants to change the
layout of /etc/sudoers, specifically...

######################################################################

 ##
 ## User privilege specification
 ##
-root ALL=(ALL) ALL
+root ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
 
 ## Uncomment to allow members of group wheel to execute any command
-# %wheel ALL=(ALL) ALL
+# %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
 
 ## Same thing without a password
-# %wheel ALL=(ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
+# %wheel ALL=(ALL:ALL) NOPASSWD: ALL
 
 ## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command
-# %sudo        ALL=(ALL) ALL
+# %sudo        ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL
 
 ## Uncomment to allow any user to run sudo if they know the password
 ## of the user they are running the command as (root by default).
 # Defaults targetpw  # Ask for the password of the target user
-# ALL ALL=(ALL) ALL  # WARNING: only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'
+# ALL ALL=(ALL:ALL) ALL  # WARNING: only use this together with 'Defaults targetpw'

...and similar changes for /etc/sudoers.dist.  What is this about, and
should I go ahead?
