I can't speak for grep and sed since I'm not a maintainer of either, but to my mind the only thing that makes sense is for regular expressions like [a-z] to have their traditional interpretations in all locales. I can speak for diffutils, whose -I option uses regular expressions, and my intent is for it to go that direction. Doesn't this issue also arise for file name globbing? In that case, I can also speak for GNU tar: I'd like its file name globbing to do the right thing here too. Coreutils is also affected, both for regular expressions (csplit, expr, nl, ptx, tac), and globbing (ls), as well as some handcrafted stuff (tr), and I hope that it heads in the same direction, though I'm not a maintainer.
