It might not be easy to get for people which were not involved in the 
whole process, but let me assure you as a LEDE developer the question 
was "what should the merged project be named". Anyway, thanks a lot for 
explaining to use what we have voted about.

No it was a +1 for OpenWrt. What you are linking to was a (preliminary) 
summary. The last vote about the topic was 
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-adm/2017-March/000437.html, 
which makes it +1. There were no more votes in the following two month.

Now that all ambiguities are cleared, everyone can go back to work 
instead of writing/reading pointless mails.
