Because I don't want to work on this. Ask Hans if you really need to. But
at this point I think it is easier to get users to install the correct
GridFlow, than getting users to first remove (or disable) an old GridFlow
from Pd-extended so that they can install a newer version than what would
be available in a stable Pd-extended. I mean that development of GridFlow
is going a bit fast at this point, and tends to be driven by requests of
users that wouldn't want to wait until next year... more like next month
or next week.

and compared to how it used to be for OSX users, that's plain nothing at
all. Furthermore, if wanting to have a newer version of GridFlow, it's
more steps.

Well, actually, I don't use [import]... I already tell all the users to
instead write it in the « Startup... » dialogue box. I suppose that in the
README that sentence could now be reversed, to suggest Startup first, "or
else" use [import].
