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.

I can see the logical reasoning behind targeting Indigo on Trusty, but I do have concerns that it will also delay the community from adopting it. I had to install Trusty on an extra computer just so that I could begin Indigo migration since if I moved my main computer over I would be without a supported ROS version.

Yes. For individual developers this is just an annoyance because it takes away time we would rather spend on more productive activities.

But, for a large organization attempting to maintain a stable platform for hundreds of users, the difficulties are much worse.
