I agree that there are a lot of references to dev.openwrt.org which
should remain intact. A non-interactive version would imho be
sufficient, tickets which are actually still relevant should be
re-opened on bugs.lede-project.org (which will become bugs.openwrt.org)
A grace period of 1 month starting from the notification until the
service is being shutdown (or archived read-only) would also be nice.

I agree. Thanks a lot for all the work done, this is great progress!
