[ros-users] Roll out of new rosdistro today - expect service interruptions

[Austin Hendrix]

Confirmed; it was broken with the old version of rosdep, but it's 
working again with the latest version.

As a note, this update breaks the PR2 stable releases that were packaged 
as DVD images, since required files are now missing from github. For 
those of us trying to deliver production-quality robots on top of ROS, 
this is unacceptable.
