a problem that can be solved by a http redirect ...
Is that going to break all links in discussions that point at OpenWRT
docs and/or forum threads?
That's a high cost.

it is something worth considering if the alternative content is
available and easy to look up and if we keep archives in ro mode of
existing content.
claiming that there is only one option and no alternatives is just not
constructive and wont lead to a broad discussion during which we can
find a consensus.
sorry, I did not mean to imply there is only one option.
I think there is a lot of value in the OpenWRT name and all the links around the
web that refer to it. So there is a huge cost to going with a different name.
IMHO, this makes it an easy decision to make, but not the only one possible.
