same, not exactly sure what this change means , or if breakage was ever proposed...however matju's other proposals sound nice, as if they would solve the problem of using too many symbols at the source:

* to use multielement lists of varying/unknown length as 'atoms' (currently via l2s/s2l symbol hack) 
* as 'string'-esque buffers between object

whatever u do, im sure you wont break the 'rradical' communication paradigm ...i'm using the same scheme for my OSC sequencer and sure hope it deosnt break any time soon!...
