Guys,
Got the sudo update with the new sudoers file, Noticed new %sudo group designation along with the traditional %wheel:
## Uncomment to allow members of group sudo to execute any command # %sudo ALL=(ALL) ALL
Any reason that we would want a sudo group instead of using wheel?
Upstream made the change so it is just being passed along. No idea why but "sudo" does seem a better name for a group of sudoers than "wheel"...
Even though wheel is historic[1] I agree that sudo is a better name for the group.

Huh. I always wondered what 'wheel' meant.
