I don't think we've yet discovered what all the common cases are. As the current top issues drop because people check for them, these reviews will likely begin to reveal new top issues, as the quoting is now. > ed(1) really is the tool to use for that -- g/RegEx/p does exactly what grep > does, and there's no compatibility issue for FreeBSD vs Linux.

This means nobody can spot problems with others' use of it. Our standard set of ebuild tools is pretty much: bash grep sed awk Even if it's not the most elegant solution technically, it's the one that works best when you consider the bigger picture of our developers' skills.
