That has a knockon impact on the ability of 3rd parties to package and distribute the software, to patch it without necessarily going via upstream, etc. etc., all of which affects the degree to which others can easily use the language.

While distributing modified sources is certainly one way of dealing with changes not represented by the official distribution, I prefer distributing patches instead.  It's easier to audit what's being changed, and updating to a new release tends to be easier.
