This is not a switch in behaviour as I see it, since you can keep things as they are and the behaviour is still the same. Hence, no compatibility breakage here.
Now, if you wanna do things differently, in a new way, as another option, then this is provided and you should adapt your patches.
So it is a matter of deciding wether if it is worth to change your setup or not...
cheers

Is this the idea?
Yes! And it's working like that in my tests.
Ok, it's working for me, too. I see significant progress in that (after having cleared all preferences) I end up with a "working" setup by clicking myself through the defaults. Things get downloaded to ~/Documents/Pd/externals, which was automatically created added to the search paths. After installing externals through 'Find externals', I can load them by [declare -lib <mylib>] and [declare -path <mylib>].
So, does that mean the [declare]-flags -stdlib and -stdpath are obsolete now?
I can't spot any problems with the branch feature/declare-path, but virtually all of my patches are broken with it because of incompatible [declare] flags. I like the 'new way' much better, but I wonder what is a good path to get there. It's actually an easy thing to replace all occurences of -stdlib/-stdpath with -lib/path. But switching behaviour from one version of Pd to the next seems bold.
