    That's not what I said or meant.  What I meant was that considering
    the problem non-existent because this is how distros install the Lisp
    files sounds strange to me, because it assumes no user will ever want
    to modify these files enough to make them writable.  IOW, the
    assumption that bothered me was that no one will ever want to modify
    those files, e.g., to fix some bug or add a feature.

Distros must provide a way to download the sources.  You could
download the sources into your home directory, make your modified
versions, and put them in a directory in load-path.

Does this solve the problem, in practical terms?
