I am all for moving the ball forward, but the commit without any warning
was definitely a hard pill to swallow.
It does only affect those using buildbot builds and master. Normal
users, working with released versions of 2.9 are unaffected.
I am aware. The point was not to speculate on how many users were
impacted, but rather to point out the unannounced impact to the users.
Changes of this magnitude could benefit from clearer communication,
especially since some "normal" (non developer) users rely on the master
branch, and updates to it, for legitimate reasons.

So please do not drop the ball on the Buster users. At least not until
there are a new stable Debian release.
Buster is out of support, though.
However, the reason for dropping support was not that, it was the
unavailability of various software packages (a working version of po4a
for example)
I know it happened slowly over time, but it seems like this project has
become the LinuxCNC Document Translation project. While I appreciate that
document translations were deemed necessary, it seems to have drawn focus
away from the main project and had a counterproductive effect. Perhaps
managing document translations in a separate repository could help us focus
more on the core project while still supporting that important work. The
shear number of commits that have broken things, as well as the the
increase in size of the project (now hundreds of megabytes) due to document
translations is concerning.
FWIW (not much) I agree. I have no clue how to shrink the main docs,
there is very little that can be deleted. At the same time 1100+ pages
to be tossed in the bin at new release time is too big. By the time it
has been put on dead tree's its $14+ for decent but recycled paper and
$50 for ink for my old brother tabloid sized printer/scanner. And on
24lb paper, it doesn't fit comfortably in a binder with 2" D-rings. I
think it can be said that we have a tiger by the tail. How can we tame it?
