I have to agree with Adam, diverting sed might be dangerous. HOWEVER, nothing forbids you to package it simply as ssed for now, then run very comprehensive regression tests to make sure it has no incompatibi- lities with GNU sed. Maybe, symlink sed to ssed in your system to help with this testing. If ssed is indeed faster, better, and backwards-compatible, as well as maintained upstream, we might want to use it as our sed for woody+1 (provided you email enough evidence that it would be a good idea, and the sed maintainer agrees with the exchange). -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them.
