I understand that for the big changes in the various branches, like threading or the GUI reworking you are doing, patches are not possible. But your changes for uninitialized values sound like a simple bugfix, where a patch would be possible and a nice thing to do.
well, if someone cares, he can read the diffs and create a patch against HEAD (that's easy, since there is a pd-cvs list) ...
but there are people, who don't care ...
