quite so. if you've got something that demonstrably works, put in a
change request on the latex bugs site, for category babel (mailing
just johannes _might_ have the required effect, but so far, i suspect
i'm the only other member of the project who even knows about your
upgrade).

quite so. if you have something that works with babel, adding
johannes to the loop of getting it onto tex live seems counter-
productive. otoh, i imagine it's reasonable to assume the new stuff
would appear in released babel within a year.
