Splitting out examples to a separate repository?

The pantilt_bot_description and open_manipulator_x_description example packages are great, but I think it would be better split them out into a separate repository for two reasons.

  1. When building from source, I often use rosdep to install package dependencies. If I want to use the dynamixel_hardware package only, I still have to clone the other two packages add an AMENT_IGNORE file to the example packages to prevent unnecessary dependencies getting installed (eg. realsense2_description is not available in rolling) and getting built. If the repositories were separate, I wouldn't have to do this.
  2. When releasing the package, bloom will usually release all packages in the repository together. I'm not sure if you intend to release pantilt_bot_description and open_manipulator_x_description. The version numbers of all package numbers must be increased together.

I don't know if I can get around to doing this, but want to hear your thoughts @youtalk.

It's a nice idea. I'm going to do it.
