To me, this is the same as making and distributing patches with

No. The patches are still managed by darcs and they can be commuted
when applied to a repository. Suppose you have a developer who wants
to apply your patches to his repository but have made changes to it so
that it differs from the one you started out from. When he applies
your patches darcs will take care of the commutation and conflict
resolving for him instead of just getting an error from patch.
That's true. I was thinking instead of the effort required by me to
distribute my patches. Instead of just pushing patches to the repo
whenever I like, I would have to use darcs send to create a patche,
darcs apply to apply the patch to the repo, and then (if that works)
I would have to make the patch available for download. It is that
kind of work that I want to avoid. Further, doing it that way, I
could not use darcs optimize to "bunch" patches together.
If I am misunderstanding your suggested method of distribution, let
me know.
