As a frequent user of openwrt, and app developer for openwrt,
I definitely agree to stop patches for these devices with very low resources.
Better to invest available development efforts on reasonable devices, having
64MB RAM, 8MB flash, minimum.
Cheers,
Reiner

Hey all,
I would like to start to reject patches for adding boards with only 32 MByte of RAM and 4 MByte of flash [0]. These
boards barely work with todays OpenWrt default builds and require quite some modifications to be useful at all [1].
IMHO it doesn't make much sense to waste resources (reviewer time, build resources) for boards which will most likely
never see an official build and/or are more or less unusable with the official build.
I prefer to have a joint statement which I can link to, to prevent endless discussions or accusations of acting purely
arbitrary.
I'm not sure whether the topic qualifies for a formal voting, hence the RFC.

I wasn't that clear in my mail. I would like to stop accepting patches for boards with only 32 MByte of RAM _OR_ 4 MByte
of flash.
