Ok, so this definitely works and I think it's the right thing to do. As indicated in our dev manual: "Sometimes it is better to use regular expressions to manipulate content rather than patching sources. This can be used for small changes, especially those which are likely to create patch conflicts across versions. The canonical way of doing this is via sed" If this breaks some kind of policy or long standing not written down standard someone let me know and I'll address in a different way.
