Just leave the objects in 'mrpeach' and old patches won't break.   
Then the 'mrpeach' lib could be deprecated in stages.

I think having clean, well organized 'net' and 'osc' libraries would  
be great. Before just moving them to 'net' and 'osc', I think there  
should be a clear idea of what a full-fledged 'net' and osc'  
libraries would look like.  Each library should have standard  
interfaces and messages for the objects in that library.

'osc' would probably be an easier place to start, since it will most  
likely be smaller.
