Ah, ok, I was under the impression that you wanted to remove the hex loader stuff from pd-vanilla and replace it with a loader. I think that wouldn't be so good because then other loaders couldn't use the hex names.
Yes, that was my comment on the sourceforge page. the problem is that unless the hexloader exposes an API that other language interface externals rely on, those externals have to duplicate most of the code of hexloader.
Compared to the existing load of copy-paste and of almost-copy-paste in pd source and externals sources in general, it's not a big deal, but still I'm happier when there is no excuse for more copy-paste.
