I'm at a bit of a loss on this really. Rene tried to Commit Reverse Run in November 2018 and announced that on the forum thread Phill started about his repo https://forum.linuxcnc.org/plasma-laser/35449-another-plasma-component?start=40#120142 Then Rene had to revert.
So Phill worked though every commit and merged it into his repo where its been tested in the real world and kept it current ever since. Now all of a sudden its pushed to one side becasue a couple in the dev team don't know enough about it. If it was good enough back in November, shouldn't it be good enough now particularly after it been tested on live machines? I find it incredibly frustrating to find road blocks that can be resolved by merging existing branches that have sat languisihing for several years and have then become broken because of inactivity. To my mind its not treating the contributors respectfully and its no wonder they become disillusioned and move away. New developers like Phill and Randy need to be welcomed with open arms, but more importantly be shown respect for their work by committing it. If you don't, then the project is likely to wither away due dwindling developers.
