While this is OK for me personally I wonder if this is not a little bit
centric about some languages? Why not including all hyphenation
patterns on demand?

OK, so I would have no problem if you would like to set severity to wishlist
because I would consider this as a documentation bug.

Please make clear the relevance of loading exactly these languages and not
others. In fact I personally would neither load french nor ngerman (sorry,
I stick to old German writing rules) and others might like to remove all
these three. Moreover I see no relevance to keep Spanish out from this
list because I guess it is at least as much used as French and German (other
languages might be the same).
Kind regards
Andreas.
