It's quite useless to say that, unless you are interested in the philosophical aspects of whether dynamic patching is a feature of pd, what is a feature, and the meaning of "official" and perhaps of "is". At least several commands of dynamic patching are so much used that Miller can't remove them, and if he did, then Hans would put them back anyway.
and unexpected things can happen!
What are you talking about?

...unless you are interested in the philosophical aspects of whether crashing is a feature of pd, and the meaning of "unexpected" in the context of the following:
"init" is one of many messages that Pd and its gui send back and
forth, which
aren't intended to have any user-level functionality... of course, some of those messages like "connect" have proved useful at the user level; but none of them are guaranteed to do anything useful or even to be safe. The only one that's "supported" is "dsp" for turning audio computation on and off.
