Yes, this are the alternatives. On the whole I think that most user
would claim that the "latex core format" is the fmt and so based
one the kernel *and* the ini and would find it nit-picking to
exclude a definition only because it was in the ini and not the
kernel.
I know that maintaining compability is not easy, but
\newXeTeXintercharclass is imho quite important and should if
possible work.

I also think that most users won't use latexrelease and so problably
never see this problem ;-).
