Another reason is that beside the functionality changes, one of the first 
things changed in JA was the naming of variables throughout the code.
So I'm not sure you can safely assume you could still get the same results 
as a non-JA build, even if you add the ini variable and modularity.
What I mean: we changed all the code to be sure that every part of 
emc2/linuxcnc understands the distinction between joint and axis - which was 
not the case before.
Otoh the main reason for not jumping ship to JA is a worry about chaning a 
running system with something that has been pretty invasive fixed - and atm 
it's not 100% clear it's a complete and viable replacement.
But for that to happen we surely need to merge it into master, then we won't 
have to worry about it anymore - it'll be broken or flawed for a while, and 
it'll get fixed soon after (I hope ;).

One reason is that JA needs extra information from the INI file, that
isn't present in a standard INI file.
