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.
