Without further ado, the following was found:

Issue:    When executing this commands, sudo prompts me for my password
And what's the problem?
From reading the example, this is not expected. But if this is
implied/clear, then I can mark this accordingly in our file.
sudo(8) asks for a password depending on having run sudo(8) before, and
depending on its configuration.

I think we can omit it, but I'm open to being convinced otherwise.

Cheers,
Alex
