According to the note in 2.8 :
http://linuxcnc.org/docs/devel/html/config/ini-homing.html#_home_sequence
Not specifying the sequence at all will make it not respond to ALL Home

Where as in 2.7 either not specifying it or setting it to -1 did the same.

So it seems if you see -1 in a 2.7 config you must remove the line for it to be 
the same in a 2.8 config.

Subject: [Emc-developers] Update-ini script

I have just realised that the current (2.7) docs suggest a home-sequence value 
of -1 to disable homing of a joint.
With JA in 2.8 that is no longer a particularly good idea.

I think that the update-ini script needs to treat that situation specially.
But what should it do? It's non-trivial in the current structure of the script 
to set home search velocity to zero in the INI if the sequence number is -1. 
But I think that is what I might need to do.

Or would a number not-contiguous with the homing sequence have the same effect?
