user created at install added in sudoers ?

[Freddie Rosario]

I know that Ubuntu disables the root account by default and automatically
enables the first user added to the system to have sudo access. That might
not be a bad idea as it guards against brute force attempts against the root
account. That would be a good argument in favor of that change but can
anyone think of any reasons against this sudo setup?
