configuration like this might be introduced unintentionally if the
editable files are specified using wildcards, for example:

operator ALL=(root) sudoedit /home/*/*/test.txt 
The default behaviour of sudo has been changed so that it does not allow
editing of a file in a directory that the user can write to, or that is
reached by following a symlink in a directory that the user can write
to. These restrictions can be disabled, but this is strongly
discouraged.");
