These units can be used in the current upload. In a next upload the "19 feet max" message that tex issues when reaching a maximum will be adapted to a more realistic variant. (Actually, because tex has no foot unit, we could as well replace that with a more impressive little feet unit but we forgot to measure the smallest foot present which i guess was about 3 es so the limit is then some 75 bare theodores.)
I measured the theodore at 13cm, so that puts the limit at about 45 theodores, actually. Oh, so a bug, I'll fix the message. Not really a unit but then, feet is also not one.
