This was discussed already. In short
* There is still "*sudo", which calls the external command. Like for all
other built-ins.
* If we remove eshell/sudo, some functionality might be lost, like
running eshell internal commands as arguments of sudo, and like
Tramp's password caching.
I understand that it might cause confusion the way it runs now. But I
wanted to recall the reasons I have added eshell/sudo 3 years ago.
