Back/Forward ports tracker

[kev-the-dev]

Overview

The purpose of this issue is to track which merged pull requests have been back/forward ported into different supported ROS distribution from the one they were originally merged in.

Feel free to edit this comment to keep it up to date, or leaving a comment to request it be updated if you do not have access.

Rules for editing:

• Under "name", but the original PR name or a similar description of the changes
• Make the original merged PR bold
• If an explicit decision has been made to not port a PR, use one of the following codes:
  • NA: Non-applicable, fixed a problem that does not involve this distro, etc
  • FE: New feature only being supported in newer distros
  • IN: this change was included in a new distro because it was merged before the branch was forked off
