I'll point out that just last week we had an official contact from the Open 
Compute project to OpenWRT looking to integrate OpenWRT for dealing with wifi 
devices in Open Compute.

Open Compute is a pretty significant project that's expected to keep up with 
technology. If they do not know of LEDE and think of OpenWRT for the purpose, it 
shows that LEDE has not make the progress that you think it has in name 
recognition.

But in any case, the decision has been made, it doesn't really help to keep 
arguing the name issue. There's enough other work to be done.

I'm glad to see this progress and look forward to the remerge happening.
