I would like to point out that, in this particular case, it is very easy
to add usepackage{babel} just before the renewcommand. Just
a matter of telling people to add one line in their preamble.
OTOH, here are packages which really need to be before babel (and
it seems to me that this is recommended in general)
Do you really think that avoiding one extra line is soooo important?
