It's not about being ros2 a finished thing that you just can use, it's
about thinking about what might be relevant in the future. Technology
wise, ros2 solves some issues which have just "happened" with ros1
without being designed.

However, any ros package set for ptxdist would be welcome :-)

Basically, like with all Linux things, you should not care about
"stable" at the beginning of a development. "Stable" is something you
can think of when your development is finished and you care about using
it for some real work. But as long as there are not even packages, start
with "top-of-tree".

I'll look around if we have something that could be in a state to be
shared.
