I think that a DD fork is not a bad idea.  It seems that you guys want to 
make a lot of changes to core and are frustrated with the way things work 
now.  I think that you wouldnt have to complain so much on this list and 
could run things how you want.

But all I ask is that you try to keep things compatible, and submit 
patches to the patch tracker for anything that makes sense to have in 
Miller's sources.  For example, a class browser would be nice to have in 
all Pd branches.
