Just to take the other side for rhetorical purposes, a purpose of a re-branding exercise is to show a change in the "product" or organisation behind it. OpenWrt is widely known... as a bleeding edge, sometimes unstable, somewhat hard to use 3rd party firmware. DD-Wrt and Tomato get a lot more press for some reason. So do things like Yocto. If lede were to succeed in meeting its other goals, coherently, preserving "lede" and moving forward as a separate project does make sense. > David Lang > > _______________________________________________ > openwrt-devel mailing list > openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org > https://lists.openwrt.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel -- Dave Täht Let's go make home routers and wifi faster!
