Standarts, old standarts...
But for ` ls' I do not like your patch.
It additions inconvenience for scripts, addition checks for geteuid...

But for `su', hmm, also inconvenience for this usage example:

user% su news
Password: ***
news% command

I do not like put `user' to wheel group, but like to `news` group.
Result: not have solutions.
