I initially thought this also - see http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/guile-devel/2004-11/msg00036.html. But the consensus since then seems to be that we need something that will work more automatically, for both distribution-managed and non-distribution-managed packages being installed somewhere that isn't already in the load-path. What did you have in mind by "leave it up to distros to patch"?
