grep -F would seem a lot safer in many places, yes.

It is my understanding that it copies into sed's clipboard every mount
line that isn't mounted on "/", until it finds one that is, and then it
pastes from the clipboard and outputs all those previous lines and the
current one. In effect, that would only remove all the lines after the
last line mounted on "/".
