Personally, I'd prefer to not auto-load anything at all, which would also encourage a nice patching style with explicitly loading the required libraries. I'd be interested to hear what others think about the matter.
I would love a proper way for Pd vanilla/core to load libraries into abstractions. I know of [import] but most of my abstraction libraries target vanilla installs, too, so I cannot use it. And [declare] currently is designed for top-level _main.pd-style patches only, so there's no way to really preload list-abs in RTC-lib-abstractions for example.
If this issue is solved, the problem of autoloading becomes almost moot. Well, there still are some issues like the sad omission of "sssad" in Pd-extended which is not shipped at all but such things are comparatively trivial to fix.
