Getting rid of cyclone's pow~ would break all of the patches that rely on cyclone's pow~, and would also make it harder to import Max/MSP patches. Removing it is not a solution.
Okay. But I don't see why something that is a rather obvious breach of style should be allowed to bully the rest of the application. I have never used Max/MSP, but it seems like its (and cyclone's) [pow~] is really something more like an [exp~] with a changeable base.
Cyclone's overriding is pretty important for importing Max files. Without it I wouldn't have been able to port the RTC library that fast. Of course porting RTC involved replacing many objects with their Pd equivalents (and being a pd-vanilla fanboy, I mostly used builtins and abstractions for that). Other users may be fine with keeping Cyclone loaded and run the Max originals - freedom of choice is fine here.
