Dear Adrian, first of all, thanks for your bug report.
It's true that upstream is not being very active about the ssed development, and maybe all the features of ssed are already incorporated in sed but there are no RC bugs against it and, as you can see in the popcon stats [0], the usage trend of ssed is increasing. We all are free to use it or not, but today this package is a feature, not a bug.
