I use sudo on my Mac almost daily to edit my /etc/hosts file. My employer is a big user of Akamai, and this is the standard way of testing configuration changes on Akamai’s staging network prior to deploying them in production.
This is how we ensure that a seemingly trivial change, not to mention incredibly complex ones, don’t result in doing something like knocking an entire website offline.
