openwrt and lede - remerge proposal

[Peter Ziobrzynski]

I think it is a great news that openwrt/lede governance is merging back
together. I was really worried. There is not that many of you that can
run a complex project like that.

From my side what matters is to be able to take the last release and
build it from source for my use. I found lede 17 release in much better
shape than openwrt 15.  I hope you will keep the lede momentum.
