The Gentoo preference tends to be to follow upstream. So if sudo
upstream distributes a file like this that has comments encouraging
users to edit it, then that is likely how Gentoo will ship it. If
sudo switched to moving everything into an include-based system
UPSTREAM then Gentoo would probably start shipping that. If you look
at the sudo ebuild you'll see that the config files are 100% upstream.
If you look at things like systemd units or udev rules they're much
more include-oriented, as this is the upstream preference.
Gentoo has emphasized using config file protection early on, and
doesn't have any official preference for using included config
directories distro-wide. Portage has been moving in this direction
for a while though (for the stuff in /etc/portage).
