ast-sed has the same bug as the FreeBSD did have last year: incorrect backslash 
	handling. We cannot replace programs in a way that cause existing scripts 
	to fail. 
 
ast-tr does not work correctly with "tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'" 
	ÖÄÜ remain uppercase...

What kind of tests have been applied to these programs?


BTW: What is the porting state for tr and sed from FreeBSD?
