Pardon me, but can you please clarify who those "We" are? It is not 
immediately clear to me.

I don't see any more or less significant differencies between using 
sh(1)/sed(1)/awk(1) and patch(1). All of those (and many other) tools 
are in the base tree and can be used more or less freely in the 
buildworld process.
