Commit b2284ab0 made this update as part of the bug mentioned in comment #1.

Updating the hyphenation exceptions file remains to be done; I've opened bug #60934 for this.

This bug is perhaps now a subset of the more general bug #57594 and may not need to remain open as a separate issue.

The current tmac/hyphen.us in the git repository uses the Knuthian set of hyphenation patterns (which, for historical reasons, are never to be altered).

Gerard Kuikens created a newer set of patterns, augmenting the Knuthian set.  Both sets are in the tex-hyphen file hyph-utf8/tex/generic/hyph-utf8/patterns/tex/hyph-en-us.tex.  The current tmac/hyphen.us takes the Knuth patterns from this file but not the Kuikens ones.

Werner Lemberg opined in the post archived at http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-groff/2017-05/msg00080.html that "it seems a good idea to use Gerard's patterns."
