It may count sloppy not to feed the improvements back, though.

Of course, if the reason is because somebody is ashamed of the
script being too hacky for public consumption, then not feeding
is not sloppy at all.  But then probably that makes the script
sloppy.  That somebody is sloppy either way, isn't s/he? ;-)
