I totally agree with this point , I think it's one of the most important thing to care about.

 As a user I
would rather do the research to see which externals I needed than to
be forced into accepting one or the other, ESPECIALLY if vanilla
classes are overwritten -- this seems the most egregious to me.
Pd+libs and Pd-extended should support vanilla patching, since many
users insist upon vanilla only -- worrying about cyclone and allowing
vanilla to break seems to me to be putting the cart before the horse
with regard to backward compatibility.
