Yes, I agree. I missed the point.

However, given that developers are the only people likely
to know how to create and post a diff-Naur patch file and

does it make sense to have your own copy?
I think you may have missed the point Tim.
The aim is not to expand Sage so it can be a patching tool.
When a non-developer installs Sage, he/she patches a number of files
in Sage, though that is not apparent to him/her. A script will do this
for them. So *anyone* that builds Sage from source will be patching
probably 50 or more files already. Currently that is done by using
'cp', but I'd propose instead we use 'patch'.
