Those of us developing ssh'd to Parallels VMs don't mind it too much, but
it's definitely not a great story for fielded bots. For Husky, we'll
probably just supply a bootable thumbdrive that starts you over with
Trusty/Indigo.

I'm wondering if the recommended plan for those needing a transition should
be to install Trusty, and then build /opt/ros/hydro from source. With the
parallel builder, that's a 30 minute job, and the end result is
functionally identical to having got it from apt.
