No disagreement, ed has outlived itself, but "standards" are around for reasons ... e.g. to have a reliable foundation for other stuff. Besides this, I can't find arguing against a 50k application in the light of the 100's of MB of "hardly functional, but modern kiddy junk" Fedora is loaded with, to be laughable.
