  That has always been the case.  What it really means is that
hyphenation patterns have been loaded in the format, not that the Babel
package is being used.  For example, the following file

--- cut before ---
\documentclass{minimal}

\begin{document}

This document does not load Babel.

\end{document}
--- cut after ---

still has "Babel <v3.8l> and hyphenation patterns for english, [...]"
near the beginning of the log file.
