Chris ,
i say push it ...


iv'e read the arguments ! , however i'm with you on this , if we come 
across the same problem from various sources then it needs to be 
addressed and incorporated
adding comps or patching is for circumstances outside the norm or to 
cover a one off  . and not as a lot of people ( mostly programmers ) 
think oh just patch this and compile .

if we are to get mainstream use of linuxcnc it needs to address the 
fundamental errors and ommisions first .
so the majority of the user population who are not programmers , but 
actualy wish to make chips can use it , without a steep learning curve
or have to ask a question on the forum or wherever . and having to get a 
reply to say add this or modify that , to get the basics working , and 
dont forget
they have to figure out for example to add the lets say abs component in 
the first place .

the more we can make it work out the box for the majority of machines 
the better , dont forget that linuxcnc is being used in commercial 
applications
as well as the individual as a hobbyist , this alone will bring more 
users , i feel if you look back over the years the impetus of opensource 
has changed
and we need to move with it . and always keep in mind as to the function 
of the software ..i.e to make chips ..

programmers have a habit of making life easy for programmers , and not 
the fact that the majority wish to use the software for a purpose
in some cases linuxcnc is being thrown out as being unusable , because 
people have to spend too long getting the basics working , or companys 
see a value against wasted time

and of course in the majority of cases we hear nothing , or recieve 
feedback , so the only measurement we have is either the forum or the 
lists gauged by difficulties
not by of course all the installs that go the right way or just plane 
sailing .

can i stand down off my soapbox now ! btw this is not a critisim of 
anyone , just a general overall picture  or as i see it fine tuning

Dave
