On a desktop system with current constraints (XDG env vars, X11
sockets...) I'd agree, but that's hardly su's fault.

On a server, tough, it just does its job nicely (unless you need strict
audit of root-level actions, in which case sudo with a MAC system should
be your starting point).

So much noise (and security-critical code) for nothing.
