Thanks for the quick reply and great feedback. I'll go ahead and
submit a report and relay the details here as well.

I've recently submitted a bug to tcl-mac for a minor, but
debilitating issue for some Tk widgets on x86_64 with 10.6's

was curious what the best mechanism is for suggesting injecting the
patch into a future OS X update.
The best way to report issues is described at http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/
Reports submitted there are delivered directly to the engineering
teams via the same mechanism that we use to track issues internally.
Is it typical for Darwin sources to be updated from external
repositories during x.x.n updates?
It depends on the severity of the issue. Typically only severe
crash/hang/usability issues and security vulnerabilities are
addressed via the Software Update mechanism.
If not, since it's part of Darwin is a detailed post here the best
step, or do I submit to Apple's dev bug reporter.
Posting to the list has the benefit of involving a wider audience in
the conversation. Filing a bug and referencing the number in your
email discussion would be best.
