Hi Arash, thanks for your feedback.

That would blow away other entries in `major-mode-remap-alist'. I think
it should be
(setq major-mode-remap-alist
      (delete '(latex-mode . LaTeX-mode) major-mode-remap-alist))
instead.

Hmm, your point is that users should have alternative way to have
control over which mode is to be activated? Then I'm fine with it,
though it hardly makes difference from customizing `TeX-modes' actually.
(The above code is essentially what `TeX-modes-set' does according to
`TeX-modes' value.)

Yes, that would activate AUCTeX LaTeX mode even when
`major-mode-remap-alist' lacks the entry.

You're welcome!
