Proposal, progress in merge discussion with OpenWrt

[Vincenzo Romano]

>From the LEDE (current) main web page I read that it started with the

"goals of continuing to develop superior software in an open
governance model and encouraging new developers to contribute to the
development effort"

What I would expect from this merger discussion is OpenWRT value,
history and experience to merge with LEDE's.
What I would expect is OpenWRT to ditch the current project management
policy and philosophy and to fully embrace LEDE's.
If that's not the case, then it'd be better to keep the two projects split.
