What do you think about sudo-rs making feedback for entering password the default?

People have spoken. They don't care.

I'm personnaly much more afraid of keystroke leaks than of asterisk feedback

@Ambraven Brainfart: make it pick the next character from a configurable string, when at end then repeat the last character.

One can set it to:
"" => old sudo behavior
"*" => ***** behavior
"password" => surprise!
"correct horse battery staple" => what it really should be

@Ambraven While it makes sense for the drive encryption passphrase (because it may be the first keyboard input so we're not sure the keyboard actually works), generally when sudo asks for a password, I already typed "sudo something" so I know the keyboard works.
