Public bug reported:

Quickstart currently supports using sudo so that it can launch a local
lxc juju environment. Once Juju 1.18 support is released this is no
longer required for quickstart to function. We'd like to be able to
remove the sudo support form quickstart once 1.18 lands in trusty so
that we do not have to maintain the potential attack vector in the
package.

1.18 is said to be approx 2weeks away and has a feature freeze exception
for 14.04 currently. We estimate it would take 2-3 days to remove our
sudo functionality and qa that after 1.18 lands.

This would be a new micro release of quickstart as the functionality of
it would not change, just the *how* it implements that functionality.

No other packages depend on quickstart and changes will not effect
anything else.
