The idea is to strip down Pd to the most basic objects, then make everything else a library that's included when needed. [import] and/ or [declare] seem to be some of the essential few.
I wonder: How should we deal with the thousands of abstractions that have been created in the ten years since Pd was invented? To avoid having to rewrite every patch, some kind of central path preference mechanism still will be necessary, I guess.
I don't think anyone is proposing to remove the startup flags/
preferences like "path". For the situation that you describe, it
would be easy enough to collect those abstractions into a folder,
then add that folder to the path when you need it. [declare] and
[classpath] allow you to do that in the patch itself.
