Cyclone's overriding is pretty important for importing Max files.
Without it I wouldn't have been able to port the RTC library that fast. 
Of course porting RTC involved replacing many objects with their Pd
equivalents (and being a pd-vanilla fanboy, I mostly used builtins and
abstractions for that). Other users may be fine with keeping Cyclone
loaded and run the Max originals - freedom of choice is fine here.
