We are not going to remove wgrep, so if you prefer that way of operating on grep hits, you still can. Here we are discussing a new feature, and it doesn't have to be bit-by-bit compatible to all the similar packages out there. But it does need to make sense as part of Emacs, if it is part of grep.el.
I certainly don't expect this facility to be identical to wgrep (I didn't bother mentioning the bits of wgrep that I'm not interested in), but I think it does have some very good ideas too.
For the case of only making changes at the end, I mainly wanted to express my agreement with Visuwesh's initial implementation and to explain how wgrep's similar behavior makes certain tasks easier.
