[PD] [PD-announce] Chocolate et Coffee

[João Pais]

is it possible/feasible to add a switch so that "old" objects don't get  
replaced by the new ones? e.g. by analysing the parameters of the creation  
objects? if so, and someone delivers the code for this (I don't know how  
to do it myself), there might be a better chance of these objects making  
it into vanilla. (or not?)
