Re: [ros-dev] Meeting on Thursday

The buildtime will naturally increase as improvements are made etc. One  
can expect this sort of thing to happen. The only solution that I can  
think of to that (if possible would be applicable to the current targets  
now but I am not sure how feasable this is) is to allow exclusion of  
unwanted or unnecessary modules.

About postponing the decision; I am not in any rush to see it implemented,  
not sure about others. A poll (as Andrew Green originally suggested) is  
not an idea I would dismiss though. At least it would give some insight as  
to who would want to be seeing this implemented or not.
