  • Concern of reduced collaboration - "silo" development in dialects delivered as fait accompli.
  • Benefit that people working on first implementation in dialect can focus on the use cases that matter to real world case.
  • Having new functions kept in separate protocols might make it easier for them to share etc.
• Command to allow geofence action to be set per-fence - FENCE_ACTION - FYI maybe push back to ArduPilot and define GEOFENCE_ACTION. Do we need thrust control on return.
• common: minor cleanup regarding scaled param5/param6 #1446 - is there a compromise?
