This is actually a "bug", the user experience when working with the
urdf package should not have changed. The re-organization of the
robot_model stack was done to support parsing of both URDf and COLLADA
files into a urdf object. This means you can use your existing
urdf-based code and feed it either URDF or COLLADA files. I re-added
the check_urdf tool in the urdf stack; the tool now supports both URDF
and COLLADA files, and will go out in the next release.

Hope this didn't cause too much inconvenience.
