Aha, so, if we keep "prepend" and "scale" max-compatible, we just need better names for the "correctly designed" versions, no?
Yes, this is exactly, what I wanted to say. It basically boils down to the old question: How Max-compatible do we want or have to be? I would say, as "prepend" and similar objects are practically used in *every* Max patch of a certain complexity, we should avoid being incompatible to those prevalent objects.
I'd say that if after discussing about an object class for a while we figure out that the MAX behaviour is annoying then I'd say we drop compatibility. Bonus points if there is actually a way to search-and-replace those things systematically, automateable using an hypothetical (or real) script.
