Just to point out, Blender already has basic NURBS capabilities.

They're just so many years outdated, that they're pretty much unusable which is probably why you're not aware of them being there. ;)

This patch is to update the NURBS capabilities in Blender, so the "artistic vision" objects people create can then be turned into real life objects via industry standard processes (eg CNC machining).

If you personally don't want to use the NURBS pieces, then feel free to ignore them. But please don't block other people from doing so. :)

I'm not saying NURBS shouldn't be fixed/updated, I'm just debating whether "so that Blender can be a CAD/CAM package" is a reasonable motivation for it.

No worries. I suspect people thought the same about Grease Pencil, but that (for me at least) was what got me to really start using Blender. :)
