folks, I guess you are hunting ghosts. I am not talking about "a massive influx of changes to the existing LinuxCNC code base, and my god, X will break".
The way I see it panning out: - linuxcnc2 will continue for the foreseeable future, likely years. - a *parallel* linuxcnc3 effort can address issues an bring in experience on a wider scale than incremental fixes. - once linuxcnc3 becomes usable, you have a choice more. - The plan is NOT to turn off linuxcnc as you love it, or patch it to unusability. I understand your fear and it is in fact the reason why I would prefer not to start fiddling with fundamental structures in the existing release trajectory, which is why I'm advocating turning a new page, without ripping the old page out of the book. - m Am 09.08.2012 um 20:46 schrieb Eric Keller: > On Thu, Aug 9, 2012 at 11:08 AM, dave <[email protected]> wrote: > >> >> Hi all, >> As a longtime user(1) I'm going to butt in here.
