[ros-users] ROS 2.0 Strategy review

[Tim Perkins]

I also vote my support.

I've read Brook's book (iconic but very outdated) and I don't see how using
DDS contributes to the second system effect. I would think using an
existing middleware is much more economical then a DIY middleware. Getting
QoS for free ain't a bad thing.

Assuming the licensing is right. I'm not a lawyer, so I have no idea.
