Should URDF in Gazebo tutorials be replaced with SDF?
In the QA thread "SDF vs URDF what should one use?" (on answers.gazebosim.org), URDF
is not recommended on gazebo
in favor of SDF
. But from the answer in this thread, sounds like URDF will still be supported on gazebo
. Can we keep the tutorial using URDF
?

Migrated to gazebosim.org.
As announced by the develpers in Sep 2012, all gazebo
related questions should be asked on new gazebo
specific QA community. Thank you for your cooperation!

It would be better to have one standard (and also use the new version of Gazebo in ROS), would prevent a lot of problems. But URDF is also used in RVIZ which doesn't care about the extra proporties like friction.

I'm in favour. I'm new and the learning curve is steep when I need to pull bits of advice off of gazebosim (usually SDF) and ros answers (URDF) and figure out what's valid where and in which version of Gazebo.
