It's stable, it's with good quality, and it's cheap. Releasing HDL of the FPGA design is another issue. IMHO, it doesn't help too much for the development by releasing the HDL source code. AFAIK, the hostmot2 logic is only maintained by mesa; there is no community for developing it yet. We have plan to sell our HDL design with whole verification set. I think people who paid for it have more motivation to improve it. For people who would just like to use it, we have our firmware available on github repository. It's at configs/araisrobo/ directory. People could try it with laptop/PC and Mesa's 7i43 board.
