Did you notice the long threads on fedora-devel about moving utilities
between /usr/sbin and /sbin and how many dependent libraries that
would pull in? And the thread last month about udev not initializing

On a running system /usr/bin/sed and /bin/sed are exactly equivalent,
but /bin/sed is the classic location, and there is no gain in changing
it in metadata. I agree with other posters that this change doesn't
