Functionally, whats the effect of this change?

I understand, I am fighting Red Hat wind-mills, but I consider this change to be non-helpful, like I consider all of UsrMov too be a serious mistake. Think about why UsrMov was widely ignored by other Linux distros.

If someone has
   Requires: /bin/sed
It will stop working.
Then you'd better keep providing this helper.

Just the dependency. The call in shell will still work.

You should understand that /usr/bin/sed is a Fedora proprietary location, while /bin/sed is the traditional location sed was installed, which occasionally can be found hard-coded in many places.
