This silly argument has gone on long enough.
The FSSTND says, in section 1.5:
Note that an implementation does not need to contain all the files and
directories specified in this standard to be compliant or compatible.
It is merely necessary for those files that it does contain to be
located appropriately. For example, if the ext2 filesystem is not
supported by a distribution, the ext2 tools need not be included, even
though they are mentioned explicitly in the section on /sbin.
ed is not supported unless you install the ed package.
