[PD-dev] modular pd-extended - when release?

[Claude Heiland-Allen]

Hi,

I was hoping that pd-extended would be split into a core package 
(containing the Extended pd) and modular external packages, but it 
seems[1] that this has been postponed yet again until the next+1 release.

In case this becomes "jam tomorrow" forever, what can I do to guarantee 
that the next+1 release does indeed contain modular packages, so that 
users have the choice between Miller pd and Extended pd without having 
to worry about whether externals are available?
