Does BI raise the faction cap?

Simple question, are the new factions additions or replacements?

If you use BI, there's no senate faction anymore, and the WRE and ERE do not share their map, so I guess yeah it raises the faction cap indirectly.

Yes, it does. You can have now 20 playable factions + rebels.

Has anyone tried adding more factions? Seeing as how religion and culture are now moddable, factions might be so as well.
