Well, yes, but just sharing "guix build --sources=transitive ..." is 
more convenient than having to include a copy of Guix as well. And for 
people unpacking the result of "guix build --source ..." + "guix shell 
-D ...", having the bugfixes (where possible) included in there is 
convenient.

So yes, not strictly required, but I do consider including the fixes in 
the 'source' field (where possible) to be more practical.
