Motivation 🔦

Well, Batch 1 was a success. This batch is ready now, and #709 is WIP

[nponeccop]

@Torantulino The new batch is ready!

[nponeccop]

@Torantulino can you merge 5 more? They are clean now.

[nponeccop]

For those who have been waiting, we are going to start merging again later today. The project suffers from organizational issues and resolving them takes time. We will fix the master and probably organize a stable branch so that many people can always try the last good version and things like this debug breakage won't happen again.

(This is not an official announcement)

[nponeccop]

Thank you all! The batch 2 is finally done now. We are testing it in master, and probably will merge into the new stable branch after the initial testing.

The batch 3 is still open, when we start merging the list of PRs in it will be frozen, so the new PRs will get into Batch 4. If your PR is clean but not in the batch yet, tag me I'll come to check and add.

Thanks for everyone who made it possible. @Torantulino @richbeales and pi (I don't know the GitHub username).
