@ivanpauno if you think I am wrong in assuming that doing a release for Cyclone and updating rolling to that new release would be something that the ROS 2 community would appreciate, then please do say so!
@eboasson I think a CycloneDDS update would be great. I'd say go ahead and make the CycloneDDS releases. Once that is done, we can do a PR to https://github.com/ros2/ros2 (like we did in https://github.com/ros2/ros2/pull/1402) to update ROS 2, and run CI on it.
