What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
It is the de-facto ROS 2 control standard with very high ecosystem activity and a ~5-year support window; the cost is a one-time, well-documented breaking-change migration plus host-level real-time tuning, not architectural risk.
Next
Pin to Jazzy (supported to May 2029), budget a migration pass for the renamed lifecycle methods + removed spawner/description params, and validate loop timing with the new execution-time/periodicity statistics on a properly-tuned PREEMPT_RT host before trusting the control deadline.
