All apologies lfs-dev, this a great start isn't it. The patch is no

Patience is the key. Main developer is from USA, which means you're
almost a day ahead of him. Having no response doesn't mean it's not
good, but rather it's not read at the moment.
Originally chapter 5 was written that way due to older versions of sed
not supporting -i (allowing it to work on older hosts). Not sure if
this is still a concern or not.
Minimum listed sed version is 4.1.5 and that version supports -i.orig
just fine. I just downloaded the version and built it to test. Note
that the requirement is GNU sed, not any other, so the change is fine
by me.
The change is fine, but I don't think necessary. One of the objectives
if LFS is to show how commands are used so users can become familiar
with them. You still see the two line format occasionally and we
certainly use the -i form in most places.
