[tex-hyphen] tug.ctan.org upload: Hyphenation Patterns in UTF-8

 > namely, the important "missing bits" are:

forgot to mention one more:

  ruhyphen package allows to load patterns in several output encodings:
  t2a, lcy, ot2, koi8-r and unicode (the latter could have been used for
  omega, aleph and i think in xetex too); the hyph-utf8 package has
  support for t2a (for 8-bit tex engines) and for unicode; koi8-r output
  encoding is not important and could be dropped;

  probably some people still want to use lcy encoded fonts (and
  hyphenation patterns), so it would be good if you coupd provide
  this additional output encoding (see koi2lcy.tex for a table which
  re-encodes from koi8-r to lcy).

  as for ot2, i'm inclined to drop support for it, as it doesn't allow
  to achieve good quality for hyphenation, as it relies on
  pseudo-ligatures to typeset some russian letters and that interferes
  with hyphenation.

Best,
