It's quite common to need to do some minor manipulation in a spec file and you decide to use sed instead of patching so you don't have to update it every release.
The problem is that sed returns 0 whether it actually did anything or not. Thinking about this I did some searching and you can use custom exit codes[1]. The question is, does anyone think this is important? Important enough to have guidelines around? Sure it doesn't hurt anything (unless the search term is added in another context) but it does lead to spec file cruft. As I run across them in my packages I plan to update them.
