Discussion: Improve knowledge and documentation of controllers and estimators state #1497

Description

@gemenerik

We support a variety of controllers and estimators in the firmware, but currently we do not have a good understanding of their state. In practice, only the default controller and estimators are tested regularly in real life.

We should have a discussion about:

  • The criteria for including controllers and estimators in the firmware
  • What level of maintenance and testing they deserve
  • Whether we can improve our knowledge or testing of them without spending excessive time
  • If we should clarify/document which controllers/estimators are actively maintained and which are not
  • The pros and cons of supporting a wide variety, even if some are only lightly tested (e.g., at least they compile, so they are easy to revive)
  • How to document the current state of each controller and estimator
  • A plan for how to better manage all different controllers and estimators

Related to #573 (improving the INDI controller)

Goal:

  • More clarity on the state of different controllers and estimators
  • A concrete plan for managing and documenting them going forward
