It will break compatibility and it will be horrible for me (and some
other people). Please Herbert, don't change that! :-)
If you change this behaviour, I have to recode all my files which use
PostScript expression... and I will be not very happy.

It is not as indispensable as you think but your question is more
acceptable that the first one. Do you know about pst-all? It loads
multido (amongs other pstricks packages).

I don't know what decide Herbert to move something from pstricks-add
to pstricks (.tex, not .sty) but it's not a good idea to move things too
quickly. Remember that people haven't the last package version and then
could have compatibility problems.

I don't know the syntax !!CP. What's that?

I don't think there is something offensive here.
