Definitely not.  Can you provide an example?

This can't work.  Bugs have to fixed upstream.  Otherwise such a big
distribution like TeX Live would be completely unmaintainable, not to
mention legal issues.

Karl et al. pointed out more than once that TeX Live provides exactly
what is on CTAN and that bug reports have to be sent to package authors.

TeX Live definitely never changes other people's files.
