well, i don't see any harm in being open to multiple (binary compatible) implementations. i don't see any important argument for conosolidating, so i won't do it.
today's forks (pd-l2ork, purrdata) actively reject the notion of binary compatibility (so they must not look for externals in /usr/lib/pd/extra)
"must not" or "do not have to"?
"binary incompatibility" doesn't necessarily mean "won't load". it's more along the lines: will burn your computer and vote for trump.
