I think that this issue is fighting the consequence instead of fixing the real cause. People want to change the "look ahead" behavior, but I am completely sure that fixing the cause - getting normal g-code is much easier. At least for those things that my machines are doing. My personal opinion is that instead of trying to tweak LinuxCNC for this, users with the "g-code consists of very small linear moves" problem should join their effort in finding a suitable CAM application.
