Hallo!
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.
hm ... how do you mean that ?
They can be included in the libdir format (and are already) - e.g. you only have to place a [import listabs] in the patch ... (like in the most programming languages)
