It is true that dockerized is not the essential part of this change;
and it is that we skip sudo when we are already root.  So I agree
with you that the original title is misleading.

"allow running as root" is somehow a bit unsatisfactory, though.  It
sounds as if _we_ were not allowing it before---what was preventing
us from doing so was a system without sudo.

Stepping back a bit, I wonder if install-dependencies.sh will stay
to be the only one among ci/ scripts that need to run things as
root.  If we moved the new logic in this patch to ci/lib.sh that is
included by everybody, then the title of the patch can become a
short and sweet

    ci: skip sudo when we are already root

Thanks.
