Not really. Please see below:

This is because pd-l2ork moves GOP objects by tag (as of sometime in January), including arrays and scalars, which makes moving them vastly faster. This change is gargantuan and requires widgetbehavior to be expanded by one additional call. This latest addition simply makes sure that the system falls back on the old erase/redraw whenever gop is moved in case one of its displayed objects does not support the added widgetbehavior (this was the case with non-gop objects but now gop is supporting the same fallback method as well and thus ensuring that all properly working legacy objects are supported). So, no, porting this upstream means a lot more changes than just this. It also does not affect upstream since it does not support moving gop objects by tag.

Ditto for this one as it also includes aspects that incorporate the aforesaid widgetbehavior.

Long story short, the fundamental question is whether the core pd devs are conducive to the idea of overhauling g_canvas.h and breaking binary compatibility which is the only way you'll get these kinds of changes in without rewriting a lot more than what has gone into this (which is already a pretty decent chunk).

Best wishes,

Ico
