Interesting perspective, could you elaborate this point of view?

the external won't work if several pd (extended, and vanilla, and self compiled for example) are installed because, pd look in it's own extra folder, I've personaly fixed this with writing the path of the external in each registry entry,
Also, only ten entries are considered at pd startup, I consider it's a bug because in pd-extended reg file there are a lot more than  ten entries.

Nothing particular AFAIK.
