This is where we differ. I want to change the standard article class and still call it article.cls. That lets me seamlessly use all of my old documents and Klingon. Even if it is a horrible hack that only works on SuperH erases hard drives on other architectures. And I want to distribute this altered article class to my fellow SuperH-loving Trekkies.

I think that this is almost exactly the problem. For a wide class of changes (anything that modifies a file and keeps the name the same), the latex team has to approve it.
