I agree it makes sense to package things by function rather than by 
author. So here's my take:

Inside OSC ATM is [pipelist], which should maybe go into some list lib 
although it's useful for delaying timestamped OSC messages.

In Net, [tcpreceive] is unnecessary as its functionality is covered by 
[tcpclient].

[binfile] and [midifile] should go into a file handling lib.

[slipenc] and [slipdec] are useful for OSC over serial, so maybe put 
them in Net?

[tab2flist], [flist2tab], [tabfind] operate on table/arrays.

[sqosc~], [rc~], [rcosc~], [rojo~] are audio generators.

[op~] is similar to [>~], [<~] etc but doesn't have trouble 
instantiating without hexloader.

str only works with the (unaccepted) string patch, so it could be dropped.

cmos is not really useful except to simulate some CMOS logic ICs.

[life2x] is a cellular automaton.

[which] tends to crash a lot, but can help to find the path to an external.

[runningmean] is a math object.
