Hmm, the last sentence of the original submission is subsumed by #57594, but
it's not clear the rest is.  Though maybe we have different perspectives on
what constitutes "the rest":

The issue was certainly _mentioned_ in the commit message.  But that the
original Knuth hyphenation patterns gave results for "material" (and other
words) that agreed with the dictionary, and that the current Knuth+Kuiken ones
violate the typical dictionary hyphenation for "material" (and other words,
some far more egregiously), remains unaddressed.

This is a much larger issue than the single word Bjarni highlighted, but that
word is symptomatic of a legitimate problem that warrants some discussion
amongst a larger audience.  (Yes, yes, I need to revisit and finish that email
draft.)

But just as a sanity check: do you see any of the divisions under the NEW
column as improvements over their OLD brethren?
