I understand that there are very strong belives here. If devs think,
that the asterisks should not be shown, then this is fine with me. But
why not just edit the text which is displayed when someone opens a

[...]

***So please could you add a little sentence, that you can't see asteriks or your password while entering your sudo password. This would reduce the confusion a little bit (if people would read that note ;)***
