image_pipeline is still due for a significant overhaul before Diamondback. That was scheduled for November, but got pushed back as I've been busy with other things. Approximate synchronization in stereo_image_proc will definitely happen in Diamondback.

I think it would make more sense to volunteer to improve the
stereo_image_proc node, rather than putting that change into the
camera driver. It may be too late to add that to stereo_image_proc,
unfortunately. Though I would argue that adding a parameter won't
break anything downstream of image_pipeline.
