I think its good to get to a point where we don't have to worry much
about backwards compatibility. IMHO, the easiest way to do that is
embed library and other settings in each patch rather than having
libraries loaded by default. The pow~ issue highlights that.
You can also already use naming schemes like cyclone/prepend, iemlib/
prepend, etc.

That however does not solve problems like help files not being found
(at
least no here) and/or not knowing which one is being loaded by
default (e.g.
scale object is by default from Gem lib, so when you load the maxlib
version
and right-click on its help, you still get Gem lib one).

In Pd-extended 0.41.4 and newer, and with libdirs, the help patches
should be found when using namespace prefixes. They are in all the
tests I've done.
As for loading by default, I personally think no libraries should be
loaded by default. We just need to figure out a transition plan.
