As far as I know, the patches could be added to the shaders without causing harm but that is a question that should probably be discussed with Benoit Laniel who made the patch in the first place and the flightgear shader gurus. flightgear looks "as usual" in the regions where there is no photoscenery available. It definitely would be absolutely great if no recompillation of flightgear would be required, as this is quite a hurdle.
As for the landclass information, comments from experts would be necessary, here. In principle it should be possible to have both, the landclass and the photo scenery. Indeed, playing around with options in the shader menu in fligthgear, it is possible to switch forward and back from the photoscenery to the normal look. Maybe the landclass information is still there?
