Can you elaborate? 

Not sure if I rephrase that correctly, but I thought Pd is following a
paradigm of "the patch is what you see". By solely looking at the
patch, you understand its initial state and its mechanics. Having
double connections clearly breaks that. I'd assume double connections
happen always by mistake and they cannot be distinguished from single
connections. I think it's a good thing that they are suppressed now.
