Happy Ghast & Ghastling improvements

Introduction:
The idea of a friendly and useful companion is good, but the newly announced implementation does not feel vanilla.

It would be much better to have the Ghast work more like other baby variants of mobs like the Sniffer/Sniffer Egg.

How it currently works:
 - You can find Dry Ghast as a block in Soul Sand Vallies in the Nether.
 - When you put the Dry Ghast in water it slowly rehydrates and becomes a Ghastling.
 - When it grows up it turns into a Happy Ghast.
 - You can put a Harness on the Happy Ghast and fly on it.

How it could work:
 - You can find Ghast Eggs in Soul Sand Vallies in the Nether where the egg is in a dry state.
 - When you put it in water it slowly hatches and becomes a normal Ghast, but as a friendly baby.
 - When Ghasts grow up in the Overworld they remain friendly but hostile if they grow up in the Nether.
 - You can put a Harness on the friendly Ghast and fly on it.

    I like the idea of it becoming hostile in the Nether, but I don't like the idea of it coming from an egg.

    Do you have a better idea for where they should come from? :D I don't like the current way of coming from a ghast-like block/item. I feel that its shape is too detailed for Minecraft's style.
