are you saying the ukhyphen.tex is not good, or that
most people don't actually know UK hyphenation rules?

worse: users may not even be aware of hyphenation; i once ran into a user who praised tex's way of building paragraphs by mentioning that in 300 pages not one hyphenation was needed, which of course was due to the fact that the us patterns were not loaded (which itself was due to the n^{th} change in the name of us pattern files and/or some funny aliasing and/or ...)
