this is what i was thinking for the last 5 year. i don't say that this will never change. anyway, i really appreciate the work made on pd-extended, but it is not ready for me yet. i know that my position is a bit extreme, but i don't really have problem with it.
I have a similar position. :) To me the problem of Pd-extended or the reason why I don't use it is because it is not only a collection of externals and abstractions, but it also bundles it with a modified, often out-of-date version of Pd into a big monolithic package.
i guess one of the main reasons for us (the iem) to not use pd- extended is, that it is targeted at people without compilers, whereas we often develop libraries for our projects. (Pd-extended is severely limited in this respect, e.g. the 103MB disk image on OSX comes without g_canvas.h)
It would be easy enough to add the headers to the package, feel free to do so. I just assumed that people use the code from SVN since I think that's easier.
