I think we should merge JA into master before the 2.8 branch.  We just 
released 2.7, so this is a fine time for big experimental features.

But i strongly disagree that we should merge it while it has such 
glaring known problems.  JA does not not currently work on lathes, or on 
other machines with non-consecutive axes!  That's unacceptable in 
master, IMO.

When someone volunteers their time and fixes this bug, it will be closer 
to mergeable.  But "forcing" has no place in a volunteer organization.
