Yes, but...

... they're only necessary for XeTeX users, since hyphenation is 
handled by a preprocessor in standard TeX packages. Users of standard 
TeX will never need such patterns. It's the same for all Indian 
scripts, and perhaps for other languages I don't know. I thought that 
XeTeX-specific hyphenation patterns should be distributed with XeTeX, 
but maybe I'm wrong. What do you think?

Incidentally, they aren't my hyphenation patterns. I merely slightly 
modified the ones Jonathan wrote for Hindi. My part in that work is 
negligible.

Kind regards,
