I believe that we can simply remove hyphen.cfg in hyph-utf8 then.
That's perfect. But before I do that it would be great if I was at
least able to do the most basic test. I have:
- problems with wrong quotations (easy to work around)
- some babel files are in doc instead of tex (easy to move)
- as reported by Stephan Hennig, Babel has problems with lualatex
(which I don't know how to solve):

\documentclass{minimal}
\usepackage[english]{babel}
\begin{document}
\end{document}

Btw.: there is another version of hyphen.cfg in TeX Live for pTeX, see
http://tug.org/svn/texlive/trunk/Master/texmf-dist/tex/platex/config/hyphen.cfg,
but that one has already be updated
