Notes/updates were made directly to Google docs spreadsheet. Main remaining action is to circulate REP 3.
Possible actions
Convert thirdparty to system-provided deb
Eventually Ubuntu catches up; when it does we should migrate and not duplicate work.
Convert thirdparty to custom standalone deb
A standalone deb can be installed to a system location and can be used sans-rosbuild flags, which is desireable (more portable).
rosdep.yaml cleanup
Purge most entries in ros/rosdep.yaml or move elsewhere (e.g. common_rosdeps, or even further out). Updates to this file require re-releases of ROS, which are expensive.
