Hi Seb, Few questions:
Who made decision about not including ubc and when? Where are the emails that invite developers to irc meeting to vote this? Why voting about need to integrate ubc before 2.6 from irc meeting http://wiki.linuxcnc.org/cgi-bin/wiki.pl?Meeting201306 was ignored? Why you ignoring mhaberler when he pointed out that all noted ubc issues was fixed? Why are you ignoring fastest than ever rising group of users with small budget who want to use linuxcnc with stuff like beagleboard, raspberrypi with 3d printing?. Additionally realtime ethernet is what could make linuxcnc project competitive with industrial cnc controllers. and it's only possible with ubc code.
