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.

You might want to configure a solver with tighter limits than what the
robot's mechanics impose...
ok but those data are read-only by getSolverInfo service.
Currently every implementation simply send data readed from 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.
