Michael, I would like to address your concerns over the quality of the rebranding changes and the degree of consideration that they were given before they were made. I can speak only for myself here, and I have my "linuxcnc developer" hat on as I write this..
I don't have any trouble admitting that some of the changes I've pushed to v2.5_branch since the announcement may have been hasty and may require fine-tuning, if not outright reversion. Personally, I felt like a huge burden had been lifted from me by the announcement; now I could finally *do something* about this problem that has been hanging over our project for months. On the other hand, I still think the approach of starting by renaming stuff and then fixing what broke was the right one. If I had waited to push the changes until they were perfect, collaborating with my fellow developers would have been more difficult. Also in retrospect, a rebranding branch would have been a good idea (allowing collaboration while not leaving v2.5_branch unstable for days and days) but that, too, is water under the bridge. Starting a branch now will not benefit anyone, since v2.5_branch would be just as broken as it is now until the rebranding branch was merged. (and reverting the v2.5_branch to before the rebranding seems a very severe choice, because many people have already pulled these commits) The v2.5_branch is actually in pretty good shape now, AFAIK. Where it's not, let's talk about and address the specific technical issues. I hope that you will continue in supporting and contributing to our project.
