Really?  python, python, ruby, ruby.  None of those are really fun enjoyable tasks on _my_ openwrt/leded devices.

Did you read the intro to Delbar's mail, describing that they
already have a complete tr069 project, for managing openwrt
devices, that they want to open source, and want to collaborate
on making it more useful for all, and perhaps see if there are
common pain points that can be resolved by handling things
differently on the lede/openwrt side, rather than working around
on the tr069 side?

I think it's exciting and I'd love to hear more about it.
ansible/salt/puppet/chef have been far too heavy to run, and
openvpn servers granting remote shell access is far too tedious
for daily use.

Cheers,
