Again, I go back to my initial comment that LinuxCNC needs a "Sid"
branch, which would get buildbot builds and allow the truly brave to
experiment.

A Sid or unstable branch provides a place to drop the non-trivial
patches and integrate feature branches for wider testing without
breaking the release (stable) and master (testing) branches folks expect
to be able to use for real work.
