sorry, i had no idea you intended it like that.
i always thought that purepd would be a replacement for often-used
externals in plain pd, and that it was meant to be a community effort.
i was mistaken here.

hmm, which code are you talking about?
did i _replace_ your code of [once] with (my) [once]? i don't think so.
did i replace your code of [oneshot] with one using (my implementation
of) [once]? this is true (but the logfiles of [oneshot] state, that it
is meant as a "pd-ified version[s] of existing object[s]"; the only
known [oneshot] object (at that time) is in MarkEx/Gem, and the original
pd-ified object did not properly implement that's behaviour. i thought i
was fixing a bug...)

an this from someone who is known for advocating "standard" behaviour of
objects.

purepd is a very catchy name for a mere sandbox.
