we did propose this as an idea, keep lede as the bleeding edge tree and
use openwrt as the stable release tree with long term support. the
openwrt folks made it a condition for the merger that this may not be
the case. i think the sentence used by the owrt folks was "merge to one
project/tree or dont merge"

i am still very much in favour of having 2 trees, one stable and one dev
tree. this would allow everyone to choose what they think fits their
needs best.
