something i have thought for a LONG time, and i guess a few others have too.

They are just too hard to use.

but they keep popping up in updates to pd, so it seems they are still being worked on.

couldn't that work be put to better use?

Yes, but as far as I can tell only in pd-l2ork, so if you are using vanilla, you got nothing to worry about (in other words, AFAICT no vanilla resources are being used by this aspect).

like, for instance, on a native PD state saving system???

You can always try pd-l2ork's preset_hub and preset_node (it's impossible to port to pd because it requires maintaining of the gl_list stack between operations).
