Just that.! The homing as is doesn't increase the skew (if parameters 
are correct)

The skew itself is problem. If appears then something is already very 
bad. As I tested on my unfinished machine if I fix the one side rock 
solid and pull another side with 500N force the gantry is skewed les 
than 1mm. So if I assume than my stepper can put max 500N force on 
gantry the max skew is 1mm. If My gantry hit some obstacles and is 
skewed more than 1mm then there are NO WAY to unskew that with homming 
procedure alone. As motors are NOT STRONG ENOUGHT to move such skewed 
gantry at all. So the home procedure can make unskew only if it's small. 
(and to do proper the gantry should move slow and home switch must have 
short "backlash".
Not so long ago I want to have report on (re)homming how far from home 
axis was. That's should be just fine here too. If Home is not same then 
you have gantry skew. And gantry skew can be removed in most cases only 
by hand intervention as skewed gantry make big force and stall mottors.

I was thinking that gantry kins already do that.
Wasnt?!?
