Does this repo further fragment abb support? #93

Closed davetcoleman closed 6 years ago

Wouldn't this code be better kept in the main https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb/ repo as the latest branch, and keep older branches for backwards compatibility? Otherwise you really confuse developers which to use / contribute to / focus on. This is messy. When does "experimental" no longer become experimental?

gavanderhoorn commented 6 years ago

Please refer to #46 (perhaps specifically https://github.com/ros-industrial/abb_experimental/issues/46#issuecomment-304306857). There is a specific reason for why we have _experimental repositories in ROS-Industrial.

This repository is not something where old branches / pkgs are stored or bw compatibility is maintained. Experimental pkgs are experimental, that's why they are hosted here.

As this is not an actual bug or issue with the pkgs in this repository, I'll close it, but feel free to keep commenting.
