Mr. Denk,
Thanks a lot for the explanation, now it's clear to me.
My concern was, it's a competition outside, RTOS emulators might be
additional value xenomai brings to customers besides low and
deterministic latency.
If we think nobody benefits, we should move on and focus on what is
defined in CXP.
Thanks again and best regards,
Song

As far as i know, some vxworks customers like xenomai because they can
move their RT processes from vxworks to linux without rewriting their
code by the help of vxworks skin.
I agree - we also had customers who used this - but that was may
years ago, and I haven't seen any such request for at least 5 years,
probably more.
If we "Excluding the legacy RTOS emulators such as VxWorks", we will
lose them. It could depend on the balance of the request and effort.
I think we should move on and not get ourself stuck in "maybe
someone still needs it" compatibility issues. If such users still
exist, they can speak up here, and offer to cover the needed efforts
to add and maintain such a compatibility layer again.
I would not hold my breath waiting for such volunteers, though...
Best regards,
Wolfgang Denk
