Thanks!

The documents highlight by Albert Rafetseder help me to find some answers.

From Miller's writing "The Deadly Embrace Between Music Software and Its Users" (http://msp.ucsd.edu/Publications/pdf_EMS14_puckette.pdf), I would synthetise as follow.

The three most important criteria in development of Pd:

 * longevity:
     o limit of maintainability < 100 000 lines of code (not 10 000
       indeed !)
     o usable lifetime of 50 years : avoid adding any but the most
       carefully justified and planned extensions now
 * new versions of Pd should run older patches compatibly (For me, it
   sounds like the first criteria)
 * Pd should never stop working unexpectedly during a live performance
