ancestor_ghost_summon, corpse persist: "no" -> "yes"
Why have the corpse stick around? Chance for free ectoplasm?
It's a fix to prevent the game from crashing if the player disposes of a summoned corpse. The corpse disappears as normal, this just prevents the player from disposing of it.
Are those object changes related to any particular mod(s)?
I listed the objects affected by the patch, this should help users know exactly how something was changed, and whether to include the changes in a merged objects plug-in.
I see you have enabled ash-ghoul hearts, so that would obsolete

If they both add the ghoul heart leveled item to the ash ghouls and associated dagoths, then it does.
Will the potion name changes break potion sorter?

As long as the potion sorter loads after the patch, everything will work just fine.
the armour changes seem to include new pictures, where did they come from?
and if you are going to go around changing the armour stats and pictures, why not just include the steel broadswords mod that you list as optional?
I've added the missing body parts to the armor which were already included in the master files, so there wasn't a need for new art. I've also corrected instances where a body part mesh was used for the ground mesh in-game, when an existing ground mesh was already included. The statistics changed were only to fix any inconsistencies within a set of armor.
The steel broadsword plug-in is optional as it's a preference more than a fix.
how is the ascended sleeper fix you added different from the optional plugin?
The seperate plug-in includes the unused ascended sleeper sounds which were included, but not used. This patch sets the ascended sleeper's sound back to the default sounds as in the original Morrowind, Bloodmoon messed up any creature using default sounds switching them to werewolf sounds instead. The unused sounds are a user's preference, many don't like them.
Hope that answers your questions. ^_^
