The ideal would probably be to add fields to Sense, but we can't do that until Indigo, now that there are Hydro firmwares in the wild.

Alternative would be to make breaking changes in an indigo-devel branch, and install them via source workspace on Hydro boats who want it, in advance of the full Indigo Kingfisher release.

@pmukherj, @rgariepy, thoughts on this?

Can we add this message and immediately flag as deprecated?

Then, once we start working on indigo-devel, we can do #2.

If we add it here, I'd rather just stick to it. Seems like an unnecessary pain to make firmware changes and then make more changes in a few months.

A possible justification is publishing Sense at 10Hz vs. Power at 1Hz.

Its probably okay to change firmware everytime there is a ROS-upgrade. The frequency difference justification also makes some sense. I'll merge and cut a release early this week.
