It sounds to me that your major concern for inclusion sedcli into util-linux is
its complexity. What would be the best method to understand if sedcli fits into
util-linux?
Thx,

From my point of view (and maybe I'm wrong ;-)) it seems complex enough to keep it as an independent stand-alone project ("sed-utils").
