Not sure if this proposal is ideal, but it solves the following dependency issue:
If sudo is replaced by opendoas on a setup by symlinking „sudo“ to doas, the (meta-)package base-devel will pull the sudo package back in as a dependency, even though doas provides for everything sudo is required for, resulting in undesired redundancy and an increase of attack surface.
This task depends upon

This cannot happen (yet) because it appears doas is not fully feature compatible with sudo. Arch relies on sudo for devtools. See the recent discussion here [1]. We can revisit this if circumstances change.
