Actually there is a solution for languages. You can define your  
additions in a new bundle, then include the original. As an example  
my Perl language definition loos like this (deleting most of my  
additions for brevity):

{    scopeName = 'source.perl.gerd';
     firstLineMatch = '^#!.*\bperl\b';
     fileTypes = ( 'pl', 'pm', 'pod' );
     foldingStartMarker = '(/\*|(\{|\[|\()\s*$)';
     foldingStopMarker = '(\*/|^\s*(\}|\]|\)))';
     patterns = (
         {    name = 'entity.name.class';
              match = '^\s*package\s+.*$\n?';
         },
         {    include = 'source.perl'; },
     );
}

Now all changes to the official updates are still picked up.
