One caution for those who want to try altering the features. I recall
reading that in German rules for syllabification (and therefore
hyphenation and linebreaking) have some niceties that English speakers
may not know about. (Apologies: I can make my way through a scholarly
article in German but cannot say that I truly know the language.) If
you move the ch and ck digraphs into the default features for Latin
script, you may get some unexpected results. The order in which
features are processed in an OT font can be be important, and there can
be interactions with software that does linebreaking (when, e.g., it no
longer limits the digraphs to use in German and may apply them
inappropriately). I haven't tried this, just a heads-up.
