GNU used to use it, until they built their own sed 1.6 +around an extended (some would say over-extended) regexp package. 1.7 + 1.8 +For embedded use we searched for a tiny sed implementation especially 1.9 +for use with the dietlibc and found Eric S. Raymond's sed implementation 1.10 +quite handy. 1.11 +Though it suffered several bugs and was not under active maintenance 1.12 +anymore. After sending a bunch of fixes we agreed to continue maintaining 1.13 +this lovely, historic sed implementation. 1.14 + 1.15 +Along a lot of fixes and cleanups, further speedups, and some missing 1.16 +features and POSIX conformance, we also added a test-suite to the package, 1.17 +so regressions are quickly and easily uncovered.
