I believe the Firmware Selector page is performing perfectly. It provides a conduit to the recommended firmware for a newcomer's device. 

Let's not try to figure out how to "tag" each release with some inscrutable identifier. Instead, we should focus on this question, 

   Which build  - ar71xx or ath79 - should the Firmware Selector display? 

[I now confess that I have not followed this discussion closely, and I am somewhat confused about the issue about why there are two builds (not images - I understand that distinction) for a device.]

- Why do we have these two builds?
- What advice would we give to a newcomer to prefer one over the other?
- If that's our recommendation, why are we showing the other one?

Thanks.
