Indeed, but look at the sed script (which is not that complicated): all
lines that do not match the pattern are ignored.

        |sed -r -e '/.* ([[:digit:]]+\.[[:digit:]]+).*$/!d;' \
                                               Here ----^

"!d" means "if no match, delete line".

Then the next expression is only aplied on matching lines, and "\1"
refers to the ()-match, which is the version string.
