Moving towards deken definitely makes sense.
FYI, for anyone interested, it would not be hard to do a Pd-extended update if it is just a matter of updating the libraries.
I think the future of my work on something like Pd-extended would be to make a new standard library that covers lots of stuff. That was really the original idea of Pd-extended, funny enough.

Yeah, that’s what I mean. Basically so people will stop downloading an out of date extended if there is an easy way to get the same/similar functionality from a much newer version of vanilla+externals. Judging from the continued extended bug reports of things which are generally fixed in vanilla, I’m thinking it would be a good idea to see what’s needed for a transition and start that more formal conversation.
If by 'relative parity' you mean availability of all the externals the
last version of Pd-extended came with, this might have been reached
already. Search for 'extended' in deken. It shows a lot of (all?)
externals directly packaged from Pd-extended. Many thanks to IOhannes
for uploading all those.
