:-)

you are right. I have pointed vague information about that. The complete 
thread commented that some people are getting errors using orocos with 
xenomai. Orocos use intensively the plugin architecture. As you can see in 
this thread:

http://www.orocos.org/forum/orocos/orocos-users/problem-orocos-under-xenomai

some user point that the solution to load the plugin is to activate this 
option in xenomai libs.

I don't know if this is a solution, it overpass my knowledge. I would like to 
put the detail that, under my subjective point of view, without numerical 
data, the orocos users (and cnc users) are the main users of the debian 
package. If, we activate that option and we solve this issue, no package 
recompilation are needed, that's all. 

I don't know the deep repercussion of that decision. Jan Kiszka said in 
another mail:

> default is a micro-performance degradation (likely not an issue) and the 
lacking auto-shadowing of the main thread when using POSIX skins

You are the main developers, your decisions are the most important, but I 
think that a lot of people activate that, at least the users that use that 
debian package.

Best regards,
