Hi,
I started to move our code for our robot kinematics to ROS.
I would like to know what is the stabilization status of kinematics stack, because latst review happend nearly year ago.  
I have some remarks and suggestions about kinematics stack :
- kinematics serwices use motion_planning_msgs/RobotState which contains alot of unnecessary data.
- SolverInfo contains limits field which duplicate data avalible through robot_description.
- pr2_kinematics contains many useful functions in pr2_arm_kinematics_utils.cpp this could be moved to common package, maybe kinematics_utils.

- common node for ik and ik_with_constraints should exist, using kinematics plugins.
This would simplify implementation of kinematics for new robot.

Pozdrawiam
