Move to ROS 2 :)!

Regarding who's going to create the accelerators, enablers like this allow any ROSser to jump into creating their own accelerator from C++ by purely adding some metadata into their CMakeLists.txt files (which every ROS package has already).

On top of that, organizations are creating professional-grade kernels meant for production. NVIDIA and AMD are investing in that direction and so are we at Acceleration Robotics. Here're a few of the first ones announced: - Accelerated perception stack (ROS 2 API-compatible) https://accelerationrobotics.com/robotcore-perception.php - Accelerated coordinate system transformation (ROS 2 API-compatible, tf2) https://accelerationrobotics.com/robotcore-transform.php
