Some complain about the project’s attempt to support too many devices,
with not enough focus on quality. Others chip at the increasing bloat in
certain OpenWrt components. There were also a few critics of LEDE, with
some noting that for all its talk of complacency, the LEDE group
presented the fork as a fait accompli, rather than discussing it openly.

Nothing in particular to say, other than the easy ride with TP-Link is over, maybe time to try OpenWRT on a Mikrotik, the cases open more easily and if you got to serial anyway…
