The base group is mandatory to be installed on any system.

bash and grep are required by the base meta-package as well, so why are these listed as dependencies of mkinitcpio?
IMO mkinitcpio should also depend on sed for consistency and since the base packages may change at some point. Isn't the current state the same as relying on transitive dependencies?

Nitpicking and not very helpful, and it has come up before.
