I agree with Juergen. There are known problems with some tools which encounter multiple versions of a TC from different modules, even if the module being compiled doesn't actually import these TCs. Moving a TC for better coupling and cohesion is even risky, but at least that's an engineering reason. Cloning a TC for standards track rule compliance is a bad idea.
I'm going to offer a dissenting view that hamstringing the standards process for the sake of ancient tools that are themselves not standards-complaint isn't such a great idea either.
