laser_assembler with PointCloud2
I would like to know if we can ever work using laser_assembler with PointCloud2 data type. Last time I tried and so does mention in the the tutorial, laser_assemble is using PointCloud, instead of PointCloud2. If it is only meant to be compatible with only PointCloud, this seems not quite interesting because PointCloud type will be deprecated at some point in time later. There is another thread asking similar question, but, it was rather old information.
Thanks in advance.
