Also it didn’t have to be that way, but that’s how it ended up. We don’t feel it’s sustainable to hope that someone else steps up to take it over and it’s not like the pd-extended sources are locked up until someone wants to pick it up. They are sitting there ready to be worked on again but no one has. Chris is right: code > talk.

It’s frankly a lot of work and it simply makes more sense to find a way to distribute alot of that which is the current approach that’s being taken. Split up the work so nobody really gets stuck in a bottle neck. Make it easy for people to download and install the externals they need with vanilla and for developers to respond to bugs etc so the feedback loop is faster and easier.
