I do think that MK perhaps got too caught-up in fixing the archaic and weird LinuxCNC software architecture rather than considering the question: "How does this make the software make better parts" And that is the danger, LinuxCNC is a machine controller. There is limited value to the user-base in making large changes to the underlying software implementation that they never see. It's like when MS went to an XML format for all the Office files. 99% of users just saw it as an inconvenience, and gained no benefit. -- atp "A motorcycle is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the especial use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics." — George Fitch, Atlanta Constitution Newspaper, 1912 _______________________________________________ Emc-developers mailing list Emc-developers@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/emc-developers
