Ultimate plans for the sudo fix .orbitrc?

Hi all,

Just wondering how the Ubuntu team ultimately plans to handle the sudo accessibility stuff for the release of Feisty?   The fix to the Gnome components themselves is pretty much finished; but, there's still the issue of a couple esoteric settings that need to be added to the .orbitrc file of the root account's home directory in order for that fix to be relevant.
Granted, the task of jumping into gnome-terminal and hand creating the needed .orbitrc is quite painless for even moderately experienced users of Linux; However, if for a few moments, we look at this from the perspective of a newbie coming from windows, who has never even seen a dos prompt, and just wants to install ubuntu, or perhaps tweak some network settings on an already installed system... Well, you only get one chance to make a first impression.  

If it seems that I keep harping on this issue, it's just a reflection of how important I believe we all feel it is to get the user experience right. 

Thanks,
 --Al
