A split seems to have emerged in the Linux-router-OS community, with a breakaway group splitting from OpenWRT.
OpenWRT is the chief open router firmware implementation, but it has run into headwinds of late. For example, downtime for the group’s earlier this year was traced back to the small organisation running a single, small, server without redundancy.
