Okay, so then, in practical use, what the Quilt format provides, that Native does not, is:
1. The ability to apply patches to the upstream source code (which we should not need), and
2. The ability to have build numbers which indicate a different build as opposed to a change in the upstream version number.

And, any other differences may be inconsequential.

In a nutshell, is that an accurate summary?
