The FSDG fix has now been applied upstream, so I can now just point at the right Git commit.
Other than that, I don't know how this could reasonably be split into multiple patches. I deleted the vast majority of "gnu/packages/racket.scm" and rewrote it. Most of the work done by the old version was bootstrapping, which is now handled by the racket-vm-* packages: keeping "gnu/packages/racket.scm" nearly unchanged until this point basically was my attempt at making these changes more granularly, Even the switch to use Git origins for main-distribution packages rather than carving them out of the built tarball (which was always an ugly hack) would not be trivial to move to a separate patch. The new "racket-gui-tethered-launcher-backport.patch" (without which the 'racket' package would be broken) would have to be manually edited to apply to the built tarball---the built tarball is really not the preferred form for modifications by a long shot---and newly added packages for the new expeditor and the redesigned syntax highlighting and indentation libraries would need to be added to the old listing, only to be immediately removed.
