Comment:
Replying to [ticket:14346 Snark]:
> The pari package is full of patches, some of which should have been
proposed upstream, some of which break the ABI.
So what? Since when is patching a package a bug?
> the correct solution would be for sage to *add* what is needed to the
sage library instead of patching upstream.
Please elaborate how we should add PARI patches to the Sage library.
