Hey all,
what i like(d) about the pd-devel branch is that it is/has been still 
possible to keep up with Miller's improvements to the main branch, 
without sacrifying too much time with merging. I don't think we should 
endanger that opportunity by changing the code in a more or less 
cosmetic fashion.
Ok, memory leaks have been found, that's great, how about a general 
patch --reverse now?
I was always sceptical about large-area changes to the code base and am 
pleased that DesireData has its own sandbox within desire.c and some 
tcl scripts. As already proposed, since pd-devel is a collaborative 
project, i would strongly encourage that larger changes to the code are 
discussed before and have to be supported by some majority of people 
working on the branch.

best greetings,
Thomas
