[LEDE-DEV] openwrt and lede - remerge proposal

[A. Benz]

I, too, look forward to putting energy where it matters.

However in reply to your point, how could it? When the first stable 
release was made mere months ago.

The last patch that was submitted by QCA to add support for IPQ40XX, was 
submitted to LEDE.

I simply hoped, that since there was a shake-off that catapulted all the 
great things which resulted in LEDE, that this new name made more sense 
to what the project hopes to represent as a whole, regardless of this 
perceived "brand value" and all that.

Regards,
A. Benz
