Another hopefully extensible suggestion: larger libraries with a cohesive purpose should get a standard boilerplate message saying something like "Cyclone is a library for creating Max compatible patches. The closest pd-native equivalent of this object is [until]." or "GEM is a library for 3D graphics. For an overview of GEM, see <here>". The Cyclone example is sort of an extension of the "deprecated by" suggestion: in general, it would be nice to direct users to the "right object". Luke
