I think it's irrational for another reason, too -- it's
actually vacuous. There's nothing to prevent you creating
a set of patches that simply say "Delete all of the original
source and replace it with the following".

Then you're effectively distributing the modified source in
its entirety, just with a funny header at the top of each
source file that serves no useful purpose.
