Yes, this conversion is happening gradually. We just introduced
PointCloud2 support to the laser_geometry tool in laser_pipeline.
This was a fairly last-minute addition and didn't leave enough time to
update the laser_filters pipelines as well. My guess is more of the
toolchain will continue to move in the PointCloud2 direction in the
next release.
